Near Flishinghurst, parties are often in gardens or fields. Tell us about lanes and parking, and we’ll plan the route. Let us know about allergies and dietary needs in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer before you book.

Questions from Flishinghurst
Could you trade in Crane Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Flishinghurst?
Marden station, about 4.6 miles north of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you cover Flishinghurst?
Yes, we do. Flishinghurst is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.

Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
