For event organisers in Hartley Wintney

Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.

If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.

Should I sort the food myself?

You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

Diets, allergies and planning

With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:

Tell us about coeliac crew specifically
Confirm numbers the day before
Make sure we can reach locations on the day
Collect diets and allergies with crew details

Used oil leaves with the van.

Tables or a marquee at base make lunch comfortable.

A chip van compared with other options

Takeaway rarely reaches a location hot. The van cooks on site. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
