Questions from Walton Hall
Do you come out to small places like Walton Hall?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Walton Hall from London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are often arranged quickly, so ask and we’ll reply quickly.
Can the wake be at home?
Yes, with a suitable spot for the van.
What if the service runs late?
We plan for delays. We will work to your contact on the day.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with a buffet, fish and chips is hot and simple, and there is less waste when numbers are uncertain. Cost depends on numbers, menu and service time, along with distance and access to the site. Every booking gets its own quote.
