Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Marden Beech: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Marden Beech?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Where will the van go on our site?
Generally, if there is a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Marden Beech.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. The van cooks on site. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
