Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. With darkness by about 3:55pm in December, winter van visits in Magham Down suit lunchtime, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:15pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Clear the route for the van
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time

Common questions in Magham Down
How far is Magham Down from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Can portions be smaller?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
