Hundridge: your questions answered
Is Hundridge close to London?
Roughly 28 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your wake and we’ll send a quote.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you cover Hundridge?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Hundridge is within our area and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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.

Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Lighting nearby for evening events

How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. A wake in Hundridge in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
