FAQs for Westcott
How far is Westcott from London?
Roughly 22 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Could you trade in Milton Heath and The Nower?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Does every evening guest need to eat?
It depends on how much was served earlier and when the evening food goes out. Many couples cater for most of the evening list.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Surrey included. Find your area.
Do you cover Westcott?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Westcott is within our area. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Talk to us about evening numbers
- Have a back-up for guests with special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Check your venue’s rules on outside caterers early
Your venue coordinator or a nominated friend can let us know if things run late.
Napkins or wet wipes by the van are a kindness to anyone in their wedding best.
Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
