FAQs for Ham
Which station is closest to Ham?
The closest is Teddington station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
Can the van park in Sudbrook Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Greater London. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
- Agree numbers for residents, staff and families
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
