East Horsley: your questions answered
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Martin?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
A few lights around the van look great.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
