Hog Hatch: your questions answered
Is Hog Hatch close to London?
About 36 miles from central London, and well within our area.
We are gathering after a service at St Mark the Evangelist Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is typically elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
That depends on your day. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Numbers

Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Remember the band, photographer and venue staff when you give us numbers.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
