Common questions in Findon

How far is Findon from London?

Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

Can you serve near the sea around Findon?

Yes. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Where should the van go?

On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.

What does the van need?

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How fast is service?

It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Do you do residents’ portions?

Portion sizes are agreed in advance.

How it works
