Questions from Clanfield
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Stephen?
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. Tell us where you will gather.
Do you come out to small places like Clanfield?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Clanfield?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Clanfield is within our area and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, use our quote form.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
- Confirmation that the van can park there
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
