FAQs for Lower Kingswood
Is Lower Kingswood close to London?
Roughly 16 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Eyhurst Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather does not stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
When should we eat?
At the time you choose. Remember it is dark by about 4pm in December.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. December in Lower Kingswood means early darkness: sunset is about 3:55pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.

Planning help
What affects the price in Lower Kingswood
We’ll give you a clear quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The minimum booking
- Service time
- Cod, haddock or both
- Distance and any road charges
There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
Getting an accurate quote
Here’s what makes a quick, accurate quote possible:
- Where you’d like the van to go
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- The venue or postcode
- A picture of where the van would go
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote: the parking spot, access, numbers and serving time. Photos of the spot and the way in help. To send your details, fill in our quote form.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
- December Fridays go first: book early
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.
Before you choose a spot
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the Christmas party.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
