Questions from Coombe
What’s the nearest station to Coombe?
The closest is Little Kimble station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What do you need at the house?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you park at our house?
Often, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Is there a kids’ option?
Yes. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Read our pricing and our guide to van hire costs.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For planners, venues and organisers
Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Show us where the van would go
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Let your neighbours know
It’s worth telling the neighbours, or invite them.
Plan cover in case of showers.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Coombe, a June party has light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:05pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
Getting a price
Send us the date, the address or HP17 postcode and rough numbers, along with your serving time, and you will get a clear price. Just use our quote form.
