Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A hog roast is a classic for weddings, but it’s pork only. A chip van offers fish, sausages and pies. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

Allergies and dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
Once everyone has eaten, we pack up and let the dancing carry on.
Festoon lights by the van look lovely in the evening photos.
Should I sort the food myself?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Clayhill: your questions answered
We’re gathering after a service at Church of Christ the Servant King: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you’ll gather.
How far is Clayhill from London?
Roughly 31 miles from the centre of London.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
For event organisers in Clayhill
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
