The process
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. By about 3:55pm in late December, it is dark in Middle Barton; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
Getting a price

Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
Popular choices
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Cod and chips

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Choose a lit spot for the van

Send people out in groups in the cold.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

Middle Barton questions
Is Middle Barton close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Middle Barton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is the food cooked at the event?
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.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
