Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Upper Lambourn is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
