What else we do in Sandleheath
FAQs for Sandleheath
We’re gathering after a service at Sandleheath Uniting Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Sandleheath?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
How early do summer dates go?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so ask early.
Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
The process

Food your guests will love
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Planning the van’s spot
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What affects the price in Sandleheath
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The number of meals
- Service time
- Parking and the way in
- How far we travel
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.
Details that help
You do not need every detail fixed to get a quote, but it helps to know:
- Allergies and diets you know about
- A picture of the parking spot
- The venue or postcode
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. Photos of the spot and the way in help. When you’re ready, use our quote form.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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 solves that by cooking on site.
