Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Common questions in Woodford
Can you serve after a service at St Barnabas' Church?
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 normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is parking a problem for the van in Woodford?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll work around it.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
Will guests take photos at the van?
Often, yes, and it makes a fun photo. Add bunting or lights for the photos.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Diets, allergies and planning
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Confirm the van can park at the venue
- Put bins near the van
- Flag coeliac guests early
- Not every evening guest eats: ask us how many to plan for
It’s kind to include suppliers working late when you give us numbers.
A chalkboard sign with the menu by the van adds a nice touch.
What comes out of the fryer
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there is pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
