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

How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A lunch-break van visit in Bunce Common is always in daylight, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Share the timings for the day
