Questions from Spencers Wood
Can the van park in Swallowfield Meadow?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to Spencers Wood?
The closest is Reading Green Park station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we will explain how booking and payment work.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Before you choose a spot
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

We can serve each shift in turn, as agreed in advance.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the quote reflects:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How easy the site is to reach
- The day of the week
- Cod, haddock or both
Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Any dietary needs and allergies
We only need a few details to quote: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. You can send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the staff event.
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.
