Questions from Four Oaks
Can you serve after a service at St Mary's Church?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Four Oaks?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

What we need to know
The more we know about your party, the better we can plan. Please include:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground

How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In Four Oaks, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, but by late September sunset is about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you’re eating late.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
Getting a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Start with your date, and we will check availability straight away.
