Questions from Crookham Village
How far is Crookham Village from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Crookham Village?
The closest is Fleet station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you park on the road outside?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In December, it’s dark in Crookham Village by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Share the timings for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Before you choose a spot

- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
