Furzeley Corner questions
Which station is closest to Furzeley Corner?
The closest is Cosham station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Furzeley Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
Tell us how your event normally works with traders, and we’ll agree terms.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
How it works
It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Furzeley Corner lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch

For event organisers in Furzeley Corner
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
