FAQs for East Claydon
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like East Claydon?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, 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.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.

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 usually simpler.
