Common questions in Harmondsworth
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Harmondsworth?
Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, about 1 mile south of the centre.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What if timings change?
We allow for it. We’ll agree a serving time and stay flexible.
Can a friend deal with you?
Yes, that’s common.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Do you cover Harmondsworth?
We do. Harmondsworth is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Many wakes have sandwiches and cake. A hot meal can be more comforting, especially in winter. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
