For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Strood: your questions answered
Could you trade in Rede Common?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first.
How far is Strood from London?
Roughly 26 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so contact us early.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

How it works
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In December, it is dark in Strood by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Let us know the serving time
Getting a price
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
Planning help
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- December Fridays go first: book early
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Send round an allergy question
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
For a work party, food early in the evening generally works best.
Festive lights by the van look great.
