Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.

Wood's Corner questions
How far is Wood's Corner from London?
About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Wood's Corner?
Stonegate station, about 5 miles north of the centre.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
