Questions from North Charford
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like North Charford?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Mention the van in your application.
