About the food
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Common questions in Cold Brayfield
Do you come out to small places like Cold Brayfield?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: 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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a photo at the van. If you’d rather not, we’ll park out of shot where possible.
