Cocking Causeway questions
Do you come out to small places like Cocking Causeway?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We are gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will tell you what we can offer.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll tell you honestly whether it works.
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Looking after everyone
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Check the street’s parking rules
With children, food about an hour in works well.
