Questions from Whitchurch-on-Thames
What’s the nearest station to Whitchurch-on-Thames?
The closest is Pangbourne station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
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. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you need power or water from us?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Mention power and water and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Let your neighbours know
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Tell us how many children are coming
Have bins and napkins by the van.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Venues often have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- The date and time of year
- Service time
If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.
