FAQs for Elmhurst
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is generally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Elmhurst?
Aylesbury station, about 0.9 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park by the marquee?
Your venue decides, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Elmhurst.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What time will you serve?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Don’t forget your suppliers
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
A chip van compared with other options
Bacon rolls and pizza are popular evening choices too. Fish and chips stands out because it’s a proper hot meal that guests remember. Larger groups usually cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. Winter weddings in Elmhurst are dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
