Diets, allergies and planning

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Tell the neighbours the van is coming
  • Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Collect allergies with your RSVPs

Let the neighbours know the van is coming, or invite them.

A few lights around the van look great.

How the day works

Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Autumn and winter parties in Chaddleworth get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.

  1. First, tell us about your party.
  2. You get an availability check and a clear quote.
  3. We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
  4. On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
  5. Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Before we arrive

  • Name one person we can call on the day
  • Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Chaddleworth: your questions answered

Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
