Saunderton questions
What’s the nearest station to Saunderton?
Saunderton station, in Saunderton itself.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Paul: 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 usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
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.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Yes. Fish and chips with mushy peas is a full meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you come to Saunderton?
We do. We serve events in Saunderton and across Buckinghamshire. Send us your date to check availability.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
