Takeaway run or book a van?

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Add an allergy question to your RSVP card
- Put bins near the van
- Ensure we have someone to call on the day
We arrive and set up without getting in the way, so the fryers are hot when you’re ready.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Common questions in Summerstown
Which station is closest to Summerstown?
The closest is Earlsfield station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Summerstown?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Working with your venue
Having the party at home? Send us a picture of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we’ll let you know if the van will fit.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Food your guests will love
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are made from dried marrowfat peas, soaked and cooked until soft. They’re the side most people expect.
Prices and what affects them
Your quote will be clear. The main things that affect it are:
- How long we serve
- The minimum booking
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Parking and the way in

What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Where the van would park
- Dietary needs, with numbers
- A picture of the space and the way in
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
Most quotes start with a few simple details: the date, where the van would park, roughly how many people and when you’d like to eat. To send them, use our quote form.
