Mytchett questions
Could you trade in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Mytchett close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you come to the house?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What do you bring?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. 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.
For planners, venues and organisers
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
