Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Common questions in Kemsing
What’s the nearest station to Kemsing?
Otford station, about 1 mile north-west of the centre.
Is Kemsing close to London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
When should we eat?
Early in the evening usually works best, before the drinks really flow. For a lunch, tell us your break time.
