How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, it is light in Midhurst until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Share the timings for the day

Midhurst questions
Is Midhurst close to London?
About 45 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you come to Midhurst?
Yes, we do. Midhurst is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planning the van’s spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
