Letcombe Bassett: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Letcombe Bassett?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you feed staff across different shifts?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Confirm allergies by email
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask facilities about access
After the last group, we pack up.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.

How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is typically the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Letcombe Bassett, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with your date, site, numbers and shifts.
- We check the site and send a price and any details facilities need.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- On the day we set up and fry to order through the agreed service time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave the car park tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
