What’s the nearest station to Mayes Green?
Ockley station, about 2.9 miles east of the centre.

About 28 miles from central London.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you park at the unit base?
Yes, on level ground at base.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before booking.
The process
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Mayes Green ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Get permission for the van from the venue
