FAQs for Middle Barton
How far is Middle Barton from London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Edward the Confessor: 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. Tell us where you will gather.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list, not all.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We will check access with you and the venue.

- The number of meals
