Shadoxhurst questions
Do you come out to small places like Shadoxhurst?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Shadoxhurst from London?
About 48 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it is on the menu.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Step by step
Service is quick: everything is handed over hot from the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. After-work summer events in Shadoxhurst have daylight until about 9:15pm in late June and 7:00pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

Space, access and the venue

- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
