Sindlesham questions
Is Sindlesham close to London?
About 35 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Catherine: can you come?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can the van come for the evening?
Yes. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Will the van be in our photos?
Frequently, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Bunting or lights make it even better.
