Common questions in Lynsore Bottom
Can the van park in Jumping Downs?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter and St Paul?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
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.

Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a picture of the drive and the way in.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we will confirm the rest.
How long are you on site?
