FAQs for Hinchley Wood
How far is Hinchley Wood from London?
About 13 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Hinchley Wood Church: can you come?
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 generally elsewhere. Send us the address.

We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. See all areas.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Yes, that’s what most couples book us for. We will agree a serving time around your running order.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A second sit-down meal in the evening is expensive and formal. A van keeps it relaxed. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. Ask us for a quote.
Why book with us
- A quote that spells everything out
- Something for guests to gather round
- Cod, haddock, sausages and pies
- Hot food handed straight over
