Common questions in Ickford
How far is Ickford from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Ickford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Can you invoice the company?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote.
Can you come onto our site?
That’s up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Planning for dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Collect allergies in advance
- Consider a pre-order list
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
Cover near the van keeps the queue dry.
Occasions we serve in Ickford

About the food
Mushy peas
