Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Put bins near the van
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
After service, we pack up quietly and leave you to the party.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
South Earlswood questions
Do you come out to small places like South Earlswood?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Earlswood Common?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
