How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your residents, which we agree with you beforehand. In Lee Common, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a takeaway delivery, the van cooks on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it is plated. Distance and any road charges make a difference, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
For event organisers in Lee Common
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

Looking after everyone
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
- Fit the visit around routines
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Staff carry plates to residents who cannot come outside.

Questions from Lee Common
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Lee Common?
The closest is Great Missenden station, roughly 2 miles away.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, 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.
Can families and staff eat too?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Away from emergency access
- With the serving side away from windows
- A lit spot for evening service
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.
