FAQs for Kingham
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Andrew: 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.
Is Kingham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Kingham?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Kingham and the rest of Oxfordshire. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
When should evening food go out?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.

How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. At midsummer, sunset in Kingham is about 9:30pm, so the van can serve before or after your sunset photos. Sunset is around 9:00pm in late May and 7:10pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Include the band, photographer and venue staff
- Flag coeliac guests early
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so we’re ready at the agreed time.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
