Furze Platt questions
Which station is closest to Furze Platt?
Furze Platt station, in Furze Platt itself.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we will reply with a price.

Takeaway run or book a van?
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 usually the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
