Great Coxwell questions
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Giles: 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. Send us the address.
Do you come out to small places like Great Coxwell?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Great Coxwell.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is especially welcome on a cold day.
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.

Diets, allergies and planning
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we are ready at the agreed time.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.

- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
