Beckley: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Beckley?
The closest is Islip station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Can the van park in Katie and George Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Beckley.
