Inhurst: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Saint Mary's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How far is Inhurst from London?
About 48 miles from central London.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Do you cover Inhurst?
Yes, we do. Inhurst is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Check the street’s parking rules
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Show us where the van would go
- Mention the van to neighbours
We park on the agreed spot and set up, then serve as guests come up.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and cook and serve without fuss. For a late-May party in Inhurst, sunset is around 8:55pm; at midsummer it is about 9:25pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
