Upper Clatford questions
What’s the nearest station to Upper Clatford?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of All Saints: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
How far ahead should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you do our evening wedding food?
Of course. It’s our most popular wedding booking. Send us your date and venue.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
