Questions from Gerrards Cross
Could you trade in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at St James Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Buckinghamshire. Find your area.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you do something for the children?
Sausage and chips, normally. Tell us how many children to expect.
