Common questions in Coldblow
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary the Virgin: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Could you trade in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you cover Coldblow?
Yes, we do. Coldblow is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
How many portions do we need?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Most couples plan for most of their evening guests.
