FAQs for South Harefield
Do you come out to small places like South Harefield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is South Harefield from London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We will agree a service plan before the day.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
