Common questions in Parker's Green
Is Parker's Green close to London?
About 26 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Parker's Green?
The closest is Tonbridge station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Can you serve in the cold?
The van copes fine. Plan cover and lighting for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What about guests who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
