What else we do in Little Heath
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
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.
How the day works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. In Little Heath, midsummer sunset is about 9:25pm, and by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates

Questions from Little Heath
Which station is closest to Little Heath?
The closest is Tilehurst station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Can you serve after a service at St Catherine of Siena?
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 usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Lots of couples ask for a picture at the van. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who can’t eat from the van
- Give us a contact for the day who is not the couple
Sending tables up in turn keeps the queue short.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
Where the van can park in Little Heath
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you contact us. Generally, we look for:
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before you book.
