Book the van in Stuppington
Stuppington: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Stuppington?
Canterbury East station, about 1 mile north of the centre.
Could you trade in Whitehall Meadows?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Where will the van park?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can families and staff eat too?
Of course. Just include them in your numbers.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
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.

About the food
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Fried to order in the van, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Should I sort the food myself?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
