FAQs for Eddington
What’s the nearest station to Eddington?
Hungerford station, in Eddington itself.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Can you serve in the cold?
Not for the cooking. Guests appreciate cover and a short walk.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
For event organisers in Eddington
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
