In a small place like Kingwood Common, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Tell us about narrow lanes or long drives and we’ll plan for them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.

Food your guests will love
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
FAQs for Kingwood Common
Can you serve after a service at The Church of Christ the King?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Kingwood Common?
The closest is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 4.1 miles away.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Can you feed a lot of people?
That depends on how many and how quickly. Staggering groups and keeping the menu short both help.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
If you want something everyone will enjoy, fish and chips from a van is hard to beat. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is typically the best value.
