Other occasions in Hungerford
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

Pre-sold meal tickets can help at fundraisers.
Step by step
Changes on the day are fine: we will adjust start times and pace to suit your event. December events in Hungerford lose the light at about 4:05pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
