FAQs for Willesborough
Could you trade in Ashford Green Corridors?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What does it cost to hire the van?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
What if it’s raining or freezing?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
When should we book for December?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We need:
- A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn
- Permission from the venue or landowner for the van
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it is what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order, so it is crisp when it reaches you.
Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. In December, it’s dark in Willesborough by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- It starts with your date, site and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
