Hunton: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Hunton?
The closest is Micheldever station, roughly 2.9 miles away.
How far is Hunton from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it is one dish, and some guests do not eat pork. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. The cost per head typically falls as numbers rise, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
