Common questions in Lee Common
Do you come to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St Mary's: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Get in touch with your date.

Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Working with your venue
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
