Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
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. Send us the address.

Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Which areas do you serve?

How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you feed a lot of people?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
