FAQs for Mayes Green
Do you come out to small places like Mayes Green?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St John the Baptist: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
