Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Let the neighbours know the van is coming.
Plan cover in case of showers.

Hosting at home? Send a picture of where the van would park, and we will let you know if the van will fit.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
FAQs for East Peckham
Can you serve after a service at Church of the Holy Trinity?
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 will gather.
Do you come out to small places like East Peckham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will tell you honestly.
