FAQs for Langley Green
Could you trade in Grattons Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve after a service at Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God?
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. Send us the address.
Can the van come to Langley Green?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Langley Green and across West Sussex. Send us your date to check availability.
What time is best for the van?
Most couples choose between 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll work to your timings.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your wedding and we’ll send a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How many portions do we need?
Normally most, not all. We’ll talk it through when we quote.

What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
