Questions from Elsted
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Elsted close to London?
About 49 miles from central London.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you invoice the company?
Tell us what your finance team needs and we’ll explain.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

- Let us know about coeliac disease
Send a message round when the van opens.

Space, access and the venue
No two venues are the same, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
