Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

FAQs for Little Hungerford
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Does a chip van work for big events?
That depends on how many and how quickly. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can we choose cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
