How far is Upperton from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?

Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for guests.

Planning help
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
If speeches or dances run over, we simply start a little later.
Let the DJ or band announce when the food is ready.
Working with your venue
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
