Payden Street questions
What’s the nearest station to Payden Street?
The closest is Lenham station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Payden Street?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
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.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Count families who are joining in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
When everyone has eaten, we pack up.
Music from the 1950s and 60s sets the mood.
