FAQs for Pyrford Green
How far is Pyrford Green from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Pyrford Green?
The closest is West Byfleet station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in Pyrford Green
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- The minimum booking
- The number of meals
