Highstreet questions
Can the van park in Foxes Cross Bottom?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you have documents for our site?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.

Highstreet for staff days and team lunches
Highstreet is about 3 miles south-west of Whitstable, in Kent. Highstreet is well within our area, so all we need is your date, a parking spot and a time to serve. Highstreet is one of 922 towns and villages in Kent where we bring the van.
Highstreet sits roughly 48 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard. The coast is within about 3 miles, so a chip van lunch feels like a day at the seaside.
Here we cover the ME13 postcode area, and we can serve your staff event anywhere in it. Your staff event could be at a house on Thanet Way and Highstreet Road or the roads around them, as long as there is somewhere for the van. Close by, we cover staff events in Waterham (1 mile west), Dargate (1 mile south-west), Seasalter (1 mile north), Hernhill (2 miles south-west) and Slutshole (2 miles south-west). Further out, we also take the van to Ashford (14 miles south), Canterbury (5 miles south-east), Sittingbourne (11 miles west), Whitstable (3 miles north-east), Faversham (4 miles west) and Herne Bay (7 miles north-east).

Diets, allergies and planning
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Collect allergies in advance
- Give us break and shift times
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so we are ready when the first group comes out.
A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
