Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Where the van can park in Hale Green
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A spot near your guests
- A lit spot if service runs after dark

Common questions in Hale Green
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on my drive?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, including East Sussex. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
