A few benches near the van help.
What the van needs
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A clear route onto the pitch
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Prices and what affects them

Woodham: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Woodham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Woodham from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.

How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready.

For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
