There are 3 towns and 11 villages and hamlets in RG42, so the setting can be anything from Bracknell, Wick Hill and Priestwood to a quiet hamlet: a level spot, a clear way in and a plan.

Priestwood: PTAs at schools such as Meadow Vale Primary School frequently look for a hot-food stall for fairs and sports days. After a service at St Andrew, the van can be waiting at a nearby hall or house. Evenings in Priestwood stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

Looking after everyone

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

  • Plan bins near the queue
  • Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
  • Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
  • Confirm allergies by email

Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.

Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.

Questions from RG42

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

Which fish do you use?

Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.

How far ahead should we book?

The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

What can guests choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Do you bring everything you need?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.

Do you clear up afterwards?

We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.
