Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Chalfont St Peter
Can you serve after a service at Parish Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can the van come to Chalfont St Peter?
We do. We serve events in Chalfont St Peter and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
