Bedhampton: your questions answered
How far is Bedhampton from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you offer repeat visits?
We’re happy to talk about repeat visits.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. For a summer visit in Bedhampton, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In December, with dark by about 4:00pm, lunchtime is best.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
