FAQs for Fortis Green
Could you trade in Cherry Tree Wood?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at United Reformed Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What happens when we hire the van?
The van parks at your venue, we fry fresh and serve from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.

Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Fortis Green.
