How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In Duncton, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:50pm, to late September, around 7:05pm.

- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We plan portions and dietary needs with the home.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh, serving at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up quietly.

Questions from Duncton
Is Duncton close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, 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.
