Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
Where the van can park in Stratfield Mortimer
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Lighting nearby for evening events
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
