Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

Old Alresford: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Old Alresford?

Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.

It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
