Setley questions
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you come out to small places like Setley?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will tell you honestly.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
What do you need at the house?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Setley?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
What do children eat?
Sausage and chips, usually. Let us know numbers and ages.
