Questions from Punnett's Town
How far is Punnett's Town from London?
Roughly 41 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It usually ends up in a few photos. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.

Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Ask your venue about catering vans first
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Do not forget your suppliers
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
Most couples serve evening food between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done.
Have napkins handy: fish and chips is finger food after dark.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- How many people are eating
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
What to tell us
We can quote more accurately with a few details. Here’s what’s useful:
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the event is
- A picture of the parking spot
- Anything awkward about the way in
Most quotes start with a few simple details: date, address, numbers and serving time. To send them, fill in our quote form.
