Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
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.

Common questions in South Mundham
Could you trade in Avisford?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What’s the nearest station to South Mundham?
The closest is Chichester station, roughly 2.5 miles away.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Check the spot with your manager
- Arrange texture-modified meals from your own kitchen
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers

- Travel, tolls and road charges

Details that help

Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
