How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Lunchtime bookings in Alton are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 4:00pm, so plan lighting for later events. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Share the timings for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
