Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Put bins near the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Count suppliers working late
We arrive during the reception and set up quietly, so the fryers are hot when you are ready.

FAQs for Keeper's Corner
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Bartholomew: 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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Do you cover Keeper's Corner?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Keeper's Corner is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can you park near the barn?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We’ll agree the spot in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, sunset in Keeper's Corner is about 9:20pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. In late May, sunset is about 8:50pm, and in late September about 7:05pm.
