Grendon Underwood: your questions answered
Is Grendon Underwood close to London?
Roughly 47 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Leonard?
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. Send us the address.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you come to Grendon Underwood?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Grendon Underwood is within our area and the rest of Buckinghamshire. To check your date, fill in our quote form.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Planning the van’s spot
If a spot isn’t suitable, we will tell you, and help find another. The main points are:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A short walk from the party
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
