FAQs for Fosten Green
How far is Fosten Green from London?
Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, if there is a suitable spot for the van and the site allows it.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. Fridays in December book up first.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Access and parking
- The number of meals
- The menu and how many choices
- Service time
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- The address or venue name
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- Where the van would park
- Anything awkward about the way in
A detailed enquiry gets a more accurate quote: where the van would park, how to get in, numbers and timings. A picture of the spot helps too. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
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.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets normally need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
