The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it’s needed. In Langley, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by 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.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Name one person we can call on the day

Langley questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Langley?
The closest is Bearsted station, roughly 2.7 miles away.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we will send a quote.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
About the food
