Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

South Moreton questions
Can the van go 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.
Do you come out to small places like South Moreton?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you come to South Moreton?
We do. South Moreton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Generally most, not all. We will talk it through when we quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Step by step
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in South Moreton, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the venue and the date, then send a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- We cook to order on the day and serve right on cue.
- Afterwards we clear our spot and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
