Questions from Ley Hill
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Ley Hill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van come to base?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you feed supporting artists too?
Yes. Let us know total numbers.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not 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 Ley Hill?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Ley Hill and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.

Food your guests will love
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
For event organisers in Ley Hill
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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 cooks in front of your crew instead.
What the van needs
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Away from the shooting area’s sound
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
- Lighting for early or late service
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
