FAQs for Three Chimneys
How far is Three Chimneys from London?

Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you cover Three Chimneys?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Three Chimneys is within our area and the rest of Kent. For a quote, use our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.

How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we’ll adjust start times and pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it’s dark in Three Chimneys by about 3:50pm, 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.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Clear the route for the van
