Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.

It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
