Can you serve after a service at Church of St Swithin?
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.

Normally, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
