How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Sunset in Crown Wood is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:25pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.

- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

Prices and what affects them
Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- The menu and how many choices
- Numbers
- Whether a minimum applies
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
Details that help
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and time of the event
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- Rough numbers for adults and children
- A picture of the space and the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. You can use our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
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 normally simpler.
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.
FAQs for Crown Wood
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Crown Wood close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
