Droxford: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary and All Saints?
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’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Droxford?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Is there a kids’ option?
Sausage and chips, typically. Let us know numbers and ages.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can the van come to Droxford?
We do. Droxford is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer weekends go first. Contact us with your date.
A fish and chip van or other catering?

- Something for guests to gather round
- No surprises in your quote
- A menu almost everyone likes

The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Guests normally gather round the hatch as soon as we open. For a late-May party in Droxford, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:20pm. After dark, light the area around the van.
- 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.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
