Littlemore questions
How far is Littlemore from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary and St Nicholas?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes. Tell us about parking at the house.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. See all areas.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
