Common questions in Ewelme
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
How far is Ewelme from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Let us know numbers and ages.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 normally simpler.
