Questions from Midhurst
We are gathering after a service at Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood: can you come?
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.
How far is Midhurst from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you come to Midhurst?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Midhurst is within our area. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.

The menu, dish by dish
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips covers anyone who does not want fish, and it’s a favourite with children.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- A short menu helps everyone
It helps to have bins and napkins by the van.
A gazebo by the van keeps the queue dry.
