It’s a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Autumn and winter parties in West Horsley get dark early: about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely

Common questions in West Horsley
Could you trade in The Forest and the Highlands?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we will take it from there.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
