Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Questions from Littlehampton
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can the van park in Mewsbrook Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
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.

That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about any close family with allergies
- Keep the serving time flexible
- Funeral directors can help with numbers
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
