FAQs for Boughton Aluph
Is Boughton Aluph close to London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Boughton Aluph?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A Christmas party at a venue costs more per head. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your Christmas party is.
