For a rural spot like South Nutfield, the setting does plenty of the work. Tell us about gates, tracks and the ground. Timings are planned around your event, so the food is ready when you want to eat.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Tell us how many children are coming
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
The oil needs time to come up to temperature, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Let everyone know when the food is ready.

South Nutfield questions
Do you come out to small places like South Nutfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at Christ Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.

- Access wide and high enough for the van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
