For event organisers in Burchett's Green
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
What happens on the day
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. In summer, a wake in Burchett's Green has light until about 9:25pm, but in December it is dark by about 3:55pm.
- You, or your funeral director, tell us the date, the place and rough numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Timings allow for the service and travel from it.
- We park discreetly and fry fresh as people arrive.
- Afterwards we pack up quietly and leave the spot tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Burchett's Green questions
What’s the nearest station to Burchett's Green?
The closest is Furze Platt station, roughly 2.8 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at Saint John the Evangelist?
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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can a friend deal with you?
Of course. We can work with whoever is helping you.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How quickly can you come?
We understand the timescales, so send us the date and we will answer right away.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let someone else talk to us on the day
- Check the hall or venue allows a catering van
- Ask your funeral director to help estimate numbers
- Ask a friend to run a tea table
