FAQs for Bishopstone
What’s the nearest station to Bishopstone?
Bishopstone (Sussex) station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Andrew?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.

In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

- Don’t forget your suppliers

Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late, so the food is still fresh.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
