At country workplaces around West Clandon, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. We cook inside the van, right where your staff are, and the food reaches them hot and crisp.

Step by step
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your staff, and we agree exactly where before the day. For a staff lunch in West Clandon, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:20pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Questions from West Clandon
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is West Clandon close to London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What paperwork do you provide?
Sites vary, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, it is a great draw. Send us the timings and numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
