How it works
There’s very little for you to do on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Late September evenings in Sherfield English lose the light at about 7:10pm, and at Christmas it comes at about 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Questions from Sherfield English
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Sherfield English?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
