The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Space, access and the venue
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Details of any power or water on site
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Woodway?
The closest is Cholsey station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Can you cook in the rain?
