FAQs for Netherne on-the-Hill
What about parking in Netherne on-the-Hill?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will plan around it.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
What if the weather’s bad?

Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.

As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
- The menu and how many choices
- How long we serve
The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
Getting an accurate quote
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Expected numbers
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where you’d like the van to go
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. A photo of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Let your neighbours know
- Count children separately
We arrive, park up and heat the fryers, then serve as guests come up.

About the food
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
