FAQs for Lower Green
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Lower Green?
Kintbury station, about 2.4 miles north-east of the centre.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you come to a street party?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.

A closer look at the menu
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Count children separately
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Show us where the van would go
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Finish with the birthday cake.
Prices and what affects them
Two events with the same numbers can cost different amounts, depending on:
- Any minimum charge
- How far we travel
- Access and parking
- The menu and how many choices
Larger groups generally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
What we need to know
Good planning starts with a few facts. Try to include:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- Anything awkward about the way in
- The venue or postcode
- Rough numbers for adults and children
Still finalising the details? That’s fine: give us a rough idea and the date, and we’ll quote on that. Start when you are ready: send us your details through our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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.
Perfect for your party in Lower Green
No washing up, no cold buffet to throw away, which makes the morning after much easier.
