Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your Christmas party. The frying and serving are down to us. It gets dark in Childrey by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Questions from Childrey

No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Childrey close to London?
Roughly 60 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
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 plan a back-up spot.

Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
