FAQs for Hastingleigh
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.
Is Hastingleigh too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What will facilities need from you?
Sites vary, so send us the list and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.

That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

We do. Hastingleigh is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
