FAQs for Northiam
Is Northiam close to London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Northiam too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your residents, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Northiam?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Residents usually gather round the hatch once service starts. Garden visits in Northiam work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September.
- The home tells us the date, numbers for residents, staff and visitors, and the best time to serve.
- We check the parking spot and send a price.
- We agree portion sizes and any diets with your kitchen or care team.
- We park up and cook to order at mealtime.

Preparing for the day

Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
