Crondall questions
How far is Crondall from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Crondall?
The closest is Farnham station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do you have documents for productions?
Send us your supplier requirements.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Far enough from set to keep noise down
- A lit spot for dark mornings or evenings
- Access checked by locations
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Popular choices

About the food

How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Crew will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Sunset in Crondall is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:25pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
