FAQs for Castle Town
Can you serve after a service at St Botolph's Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can the van park in Hillside Park (parke sa Hiniusang Gingharian)?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, 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?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Will the van be in our photos?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Planning help

Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Talk to us about evening numbers
Evening food normally goes out between about 8pm and 9:30pm, after the first dance.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It’s battered and fried to order.
