Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.

Common questions in Stanwell Moor
Do you come out to small places like Stanwell Moor?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Stanwell Moor close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Do you have documents for productions?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
