Abbey Wood: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Saint Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is parking a problem for the van in Abbey Wood?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will work around it.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we will send a quote.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.

Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Count children separately
- Have a back-up for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- A short menu helps everyone
- Confirm allergies by email
Once everyone is fed, we pack up.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’re happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It keeps things simple.
