Common questions in Peckham Bush
Is Peckham Bush close to London?
About 28 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Peckham Bush?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you bring everything you need?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
