Little Hungerford questions
How far is Little Hungerford from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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 follow the site rules.
Can you come to our office Christmas party?
Yes, if there’s a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including West Berkshire. Find your area.
What time is best for food?
Early in the evening typically works best, before the drinks really flow. For lunchtime, we will work to your break.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Confirm allergies by email
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Collect allergies in advance
We arrive in good time and set up in a lit spot.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
