North Warnborough questions
What’s the nearest station to North Warnborough?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
Is North Warnborough close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can you park near the barn?
Your venue decides, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
When should evening food go out?
Typically between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We’ll fit your running order.
Can the van come for the evening?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer wedding in North Warnborough, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, which means evening fish and chips is frequently served in daylight in June and July. For autumn and winter weddings, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
