Lye Green questions
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.

Berkhamsted station, about 3.1 miles north of the centre.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What will the production need?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list and we’ll go through it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before booking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for the crew.

- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Ask for a quote

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
