FAQs for Yopps Green
How far is Yopps Green from London?
Roughly 23 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Ideally in the summer or early autumn, especially for a Friday.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Where the van can park in Yopps Green

- Flat, firm ground for the van

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
