Running an event in The Village
The Village is about 2 miles south of Windsor, in Windsor and Maidenhead. For events in The Village, we can park on a drive, a car park, a yard or firm, dry grass in and around The Village. We take the van to 57 places across Windsor and Maidenhead, from the larger towns to small villages. Our bookings stretch from The Village to Guildford (about 14 miles away).
An event in Windsor Great Park means agreeing traders and vehicle routes with the landowner, normally the council. For anyone arriving by train, Windsor & Eton Central station is about 3 miles away.
Here we cover the SL4 postcode area, so your event can be anywhere in it. Whether your event is on Sheet Street Road and Forest Road or anywhere nearby, we can park up and fry there. For events just outside The Village, we cover Cranbourne (1 mile west), Woodside (1 mile south-west), Plaistow Green (2 miles west), Cheapside (2 miles south) and Brookside (2 miles south-west). We also serve nearby towns such as Maidenhead (7 miles north-west), Boyn Hill (6 miles north-west), North Ascot (3 miles south-west), Cookham (9 miles north-west), Furze Platt (8 miles north-west) and Broomhall (4 miles south).
A little further out are Windsor Castle (3.1 miles north-east) and King Edward VII Hospital (2.3 miles north-east). Within reach you’ll find Bray Pit and Virginia Water Lake.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

Questions from The Village
Can you come to a school fair in The Village?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Windsor Great Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cover The Village?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including The Village. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
The process
From set-up to the last portion, we look after the food, so you can enjoy your event in The Village. Winter fairs in The Village are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Have a level parking spot ready
