Fleeden: your questions answered
Could you trade in Ashford Community Woodland?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
How far is Fleeden from London?
About 46 miles from central London.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Send us your date and site details as early as you can.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do you come to Fleeden?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Fleeden is within our area. To check your date, use our quote form.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Allergies and dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs and allergies early, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Check the van can park on site
- Keep the queue dry
Send people out in groups in the cold.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.

The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. By about 3:50pm in late December, it’s dark in Fleeden; choose a lit spot near the door for the van, and keep the walk short.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
