Is Staplefield close to London?
About 32 miles from central London.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including West Sussex. Find your area.
How the day works
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you’re ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Lunchtime staff treats in Staplefield are in daylight all year round, but evening events need lights from about 3:55pm in December or 7:05pm in late September.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your staff.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
