Planning the van’s spot
We’ll agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
Brading is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we will plan the journey.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

Brading: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Brading?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. For a late-May party in Brading, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it’s about 9:20pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

About the food
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it goes out hot and crisp.

Looking after everyone
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Show us where the van would go
- Ensure the van can park legally
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
