FAQs for Oxley's Green
Which station is closest to Oxley's Green?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before booking.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Oxley's Green.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Numbers
- How far we travel
- The length of service
- Access and parking
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
Getting an accurate quote
You don’t need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Where the event is
- The spot you have in mind for the van
- A picture of where the van would go
- Your date and serving time
Getting a quote is simple: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We will come back with a clear quote.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
