About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Stanmore?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Is the fish gluten-free?

Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.

Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you come to a street party?

Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Planners, venues and businesses
Having the party at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. At midsummer, it’s light in Stanmore until about 9:25pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- We check access for the van and send a quote.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- Guests come up to the hatch and we fry to order.
- We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

- A short walk from the party
