Badgers Mount questions
We are gathering after a service at St Margaret's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Badgers Mount?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How much does a fish and chip van for your party cost in Badgers Mount?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.

Working with your venue
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
Diets, allergies and planning
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let your neighbours know
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we will agree where the van parks. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
