Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Space, access and the venue
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Christmas parties in Greatham: local tips
Greatham is about 5 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. People in Greatham book us for all sorts of reasons, but the plan is always the same: somewhere to park, a time to serve and fresh frying. Greatham is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we bring the van. Our nearest city page is Guildford, about 18 miles away.
A winter fair at a school like Greatham Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular. Carol services and Christmas fairs at churches such as Church of St John the Baptist draw people who are glad of hot food afterwards. Greatham is within about 6 miles of the South Downs National Park, where winter lanes can be dark and narrow, so tell us about the route.
