FAQs for Little London
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.

Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Can someone else arrange it?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.

Planning help
DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
For event organisers in Little London
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.

Allergies and dietary needs

- Check the hall has an urn
- Have chairs for those who need them
When everyone has eaten, we pack up quietly.
Somewhere quiet to sit helps some guests.
