Common questions in Underling Green
What’s the nearest station to Underling Green?
The closest is Marden station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is Underling Green close to London?
About 34 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it’s a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Give us the break times and we will serve in waves.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities about access
- Collect allergies in advance
- Flag any coeliac staff
Put bins near the hatch.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. It is battered and fried to order.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
