Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.

If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

What else we do in Letcombe Bassett
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Organising a club, school or community event in Letcombe Bassett? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we’ll take it from there.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
