Common questions in Sherfield on Loddon
Which station is closest to Sherfield on Loddon?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 1.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Sherfield on Loddon close to London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For an evening event in Sherfield on Loddon, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- 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
- Ensure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
