Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
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 nobody has to miss the event.

Common questions in Ramsden
Do you come out to small places like Ramsden?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Ramsden from London?
About 64 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Ramsden.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What are the terms for events?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work. What matters most:
- Access that avoids crowds
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly.

Planning help
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Have other stalls for special diets
- Share any nut or allergy policies
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing.
