Questions from Cores End
Do you come out to small places like Cores End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Cores End close to London?
Roughly 27 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van come to our fair?
Frequently, yes. Get in touch with the details.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Firm, level ground for the pitch
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Your date and serving time
- Where the van would park
- Where the event is
- Expected numbers
To get a price, fill in our quote form. Give us the details of your event, and we’ll check the date and send a price.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.

- 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.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
