Before you choose a spot

Planning for dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Confirm allergies by email
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
Plan where the queue stands if the van is on the drive.
A gazebo by the hatch keeps the queue dry.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

FAQs for Knaphill
We are gathering after a service at St Hugh of Lincoln's Church: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is Knaphill close to London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
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. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.
