Book the van in Stubbington
How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your shoot. The frying and serving are down to us. In December, daylight in Stubbington ends around 4:00pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Update numbers if they change
- Agree how the base is left
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
Tell us if supporting artists are eating.
A quick pre-order speeds things up.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 is crisp.
