Questions from Sutton Scotney
Can you serve after a service at Ebenezer Methodist Chapel?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Sutton Scotney close to London?
About 59 miles from central London.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you need power or water?

Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Late September evenings in Sutton Scotney lose the light at about 7:10pm, and in December it’s nearer 4:00pm. For anything after that, plan lights for the queue.

A chip van compared with other options
Compared with a hog roast, a chip van offers fish, sausages and pies rather than one dish, which helps if some guests do not eat pork. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
