Questions from Letcombe Bassett
Is Letcombe Bassett too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cover Letcombe Bassett?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Letcombe Bassett and across Oxfordshire. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so send us the list.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
