Planning a Christmas party in Hardwick
Hardwick is about 3 miles north of Aylesbury, in Buckinghamshire. Christmas parties in Hardwick are planned around your venue and timings: a quote, a parking spot and fresh frying on the day. Hardwick is one of 263 places in Buckinghamshire where we bring the van. Our bookings stretch from Hardwick to Milton Keynes (12 miles away).
Christmas fairs at a church such as Church of St Mary can book the van as a hot-food stall. A winter fair at a school like Old School Room Chapel gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.
We take the van to Christmas parties all over the HP22 postcode area and the streets around it. We also bring the van to Christmas parties in Weedon (1 mile south-east), Whitchurch (1 mile north), Oving (2 miles north-west), Pitchcott (2 miles north-west) and Watermead (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Aylesbury (3 miles south), Chesham (14 miles south-east), Buckingham (11 miles north-west), Elmhurst (3 miles south), Southcourt (4 miles south) and Princes Risborough (10 miles south).

Takeaway run or book a van?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
