How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Long summer days in Furze Platt, with light until about 9:25pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- First, tell us about your shoot.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Planning help
Organising for someone else?
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Common questions in Furze Platt
Can the van park in Braywick Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
Is Furze Platt close to London?
About 28 miles from central London.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we will check the route.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
