The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Sarre drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Make sure the van can get in

FAQs for Sarre
How far is Sarre from London?
About 58 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of Saint Nicholas?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A buffet is easy but forgettable. The van becomes part of the party. The date matters too: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. Ask about your date early.
