Questions from Boughton Corner
Can you serve after a service at All Saints’ Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
How far is Boughton Corner from London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It can be. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Confirm allergies by email
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Give us separate numbers for children
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
Plan cover near the hatch if rain is possible.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you’re organising for someone else, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we are happy to deal with you and the venue directly. It saves passing messages back and forth.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

Other occasions in Boughton Corner
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
What the van needs
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in before we confirm. Generally, we look for:
- A spot near your guests
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
On the menu in Boughton Corner

How the day works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Late September evenings in Boughton Corner lose the light at about 7:00pm, and in December it is nearer 3:50pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
