- The number of meals
- The day of the week
- How long we serve
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
The process
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Wrecclesham is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for dawn calls or late wraps, plan lighting at base.
