FAQs for Boundstone
How far is Boundstone from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Underdown nature reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What can residents choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.

Space, access and the venue
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. The main points are:

- Not right beside residents’ rooms
- Lighting for later visits
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.
On the menu in Boundstone
- Gravy
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
