FAQs for Ludgershall
Is Ludgershall close to London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St James?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.

- The minimum number of meals or minimum spend
- Exactly what’s included in the price
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Show us where the van would go
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Send allergies to us in writing
Keep the queue away from the road.
