Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Give us separate numbers for children
- Put bins and napkins by the van
- Mention any vegetarian or vegan guests
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
Keep the menu short and the queue moves quickly, especially when everyone wants to eat at once.
Let everyone know when the food is ready, so they do not miss out.
Before you choose a spot
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A clear area by the serving hatch
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.

Working with your venue
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Common questions in Worton
What’s the nearest station to Worton?
Hanborough station, about 2.3 miles north-west of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you feed a lot of people?
Frequently, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we’ll plan it with you.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Cod or haddock?
Tell us your preference when you book and we’ll confirm the menu.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you come to Worton?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Worton is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
