For event organisers in Englefield Green
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Sunset in Englefield Green is about 7:05pm in late September and about 3:55pm in December; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Make sure the van can get in
