Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
FAQs for Lower Bush
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
What’s the nearest station to Lower Bush?
Cuxton station, about 1.1 miles east of the centre.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
