We serve 683 places across Hampshire, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for Reading, about 19 miles away.
For colleagues travelling by train, there’s a station right in Quidhampton: Overton station. A winter fair at a school like Overton Church of England Primary School gets dark early, so hot food from a van is popular.

Stagger groups so the queue stays short in the cold.

For event organisers in Quidhampton
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning the van’s spot
No two venues are the same, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
