FAQs for Burlow
How far is Burlow from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at Christ Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How many portions do we need?
That depends on your day. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you park near the barn?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
Planners, venues and businesses
Hosting at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Allergies and dietary needs
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance and before the party really gets going.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
