FAQs for Newchurch
Can you serve after a service at All Saints' Church?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can you serve near the sea around Newchurch?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Newchurch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the party.
How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Newchurch is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
