FAQs for Lymington
What’s the nearest station to Lymington?
Lymington Town station, about 0.6 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?

Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What if it is raining or freezing?
The fryers are inside the van, so we carry on. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Lymington by about 4:05pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
How to get a price
It’s easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will come back with a clear quote.
