The queue at the hatch is part of the fun. People gather, catch up and get their food straight from the fryer. Whether it’s weddings and evening receptions and big birthdays, we can cook curry sauce, cod and chips and mushy peas.
Around Owlsmoor, bookings are frequently at homes, local halls and clubs. If access is tight, we will plan around it. We cook inside the van, right where your guests are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form

On the day, you shouldn’t have to think about the food. We park, set up, fry and serve, and keep in touch with you about timings.
A chalkboard by the hatch with the menu keeps the queue moving.
How the day works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. By late September, sunset in Owlsmoor is around 7:05pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 3:55pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies

Common questions in Owlsmoor
We are gathering after a service at St George's Church: can you come?
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 Owlsmoor?
The closest is Sandhurst station, roughly 1.1 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What can guests choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
