Common questions in East Burnham
We are gathering after a service at St John the Evangelist: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Could you trade in Cocksherd Wood?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Will the van fit on our drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
