DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.

Questions from Forty Green
Do you come out to small places like Forty Green?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Forty Green?
The closest is Princes Risborough station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
