Questions from Brighstone
We’re gathering after a service at St. Mary's Church: 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’ll gather.
Do you come out to small places like Brighstone?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How many portions do we need?
Not every guest eats in the evening. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park by the marquee?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Count suppliers working late
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff in your numbers.
A little sign by the van tells guests what’s on.
Before you choose a spot

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A spot near your guests
- Flat, firm ground for the van
For somewhere as remote as Brighstone, early notice helps us plan the trip.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

Other occasions in Brighstone
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
- 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
