If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Organising for someone else?
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Medstead: your questions answered
How far is Medstead from London?
About 49 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Medstead?
Alton station, about 4.4 miles north-east of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Send us your date and site details.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
