What’s the nearest station to Sutton Scotney?
Micheldever station, about 3.9 miles north-east of the centre.
How far is Sutton Scotney from London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
