Questions from Kingswood
Could you trade in Eyhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Is Kingswood close to London?
About 15 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll plan for them.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

What else we do in Kingswood
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan.
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
