Rout's Green: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Rout's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Rout's Green?
The closest is Saunderton station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do festivals?
Yes, where the date suits. Send us the date, location and expected numbers.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you do crew food?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Agree who removes waste
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
When the event closes, we pack up.
Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
How the day works
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace. In Rout's Green, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
