Questions from Tilehurst
Can the van park in Round Copse?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Tilehurst?
The closest is Tilehurst station, roughly 0.8 miles away.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can we pay by invoice?
Ask us when you enquire and we’ll explain how booking and payment work.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Give us break and shift times
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask staff to pre-order
When service is finished, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
What happens on the day
The first sign we have arrived is usually the smell, about the time the first staff wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. After-work summer events in Tilehurst have daylight until about 9:25pm in late June and 7:10pm in late September; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
