Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.

Christmas Pie questions
What’s the nearest station to Christmas Pie?
Christmas Pie has its own station: Wanborough station.
Is Christmas Pie close to London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Step by step
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can enjoy your event. Summer fêtes in Christmas Pie have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:20pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, tell us about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
