Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Put bins near the van
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.

FAQs for Farnborough
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can you serve after a service at Church of All Saints?
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. Send us the address.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. Find your area.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
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.
