FAQs for Little Tew
Do you come out to small places like Little Tew?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St John the Evangelist?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Usually, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you cover Little Tew?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Little Tew. For a quote, use our quote form.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
For event organisers in Little Tew
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
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.

- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
