FAQs for New Milton
Which station is closest to New Milton?

Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.

Where do you take the van?

What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- A photo of the parking spot helps
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Finish with the birthday cake.
What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. A summer party in New Milton stays light until about 9:25pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Clear the route for the van

Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
