Planning help
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
About the food
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Cater for most, not all, of the evening guest list
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Put bins near the van
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Common questions in Bull Hill
Which station is closest to Bull Hill?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 1.8 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Nicholas Chapel: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It normally ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
When should evening food go out?
At the time you choose. Most couples go for just after the first dance.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
