Common questions in Woolmer Hill
How far is Woolmer Hill from London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We’re gathering after a service at St Paul: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you come to Woolmer Hill?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Woolmer Hill and the rest of Surrey. To check your date, use our quote form.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Can you park at our house?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
