What the van needs
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. It gets dark in Lindford by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know the serving time

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
What you get with us
- We cook inside the van, whatever the weather
- We cover Lindford and the whole of Hampshire
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy

- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Book as early as possible for December
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
