FAQs for Church Hanborough
Is Church Hanborough close to London?
Roughly 59 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Church Hanborough?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What about residents on soft diets?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we will say what we can do; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.

Planning help
For planners, venues and organisers
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
A chip van compared with other options
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so food is hot when it reaches residents. There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
