Setley questions
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
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.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Flag any coeliac staff
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
Plan the queue away from vehicle routes in the car park or yard.
Tell the team in advance: it’s half the fun.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
How the day works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. For a staff lunch in Setley, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:00pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:25pm.
- 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.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
