FAQs for Dukes Green
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel?
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.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van come for the evening?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll agree a serving time around your running order.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
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.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
