Englefield Green questions
Could you trade in Windsor Great Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Englefield Green?
Egham station, about 1 mile east of the centre.
Can the van park on my drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
Can you do something for the children?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include them in your numbers.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Do you do street parties?
Often, yes. Start the road closure application early.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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.
