DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
FAQs for Windmill Hill
How far is Windmill Hill from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Windmill Hill?
The closest is Gravesend station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Will the weather be a problem?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Plan a short, lit route from the door to the hatch.
What does the van 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.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
We do. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
