FAQs for How Green
What’s the nearest station to How Green?
Hever station, about 1.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
What about staff who don’t eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
Space, access and the venue
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- Space for people to queue at the hatch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- How long we serve

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.

How Green sits roughly 23 miles from central London. Among the historic houses close to How Green are Hever Castle (0.7 miles south) and Chiddingstone Castle (1.6 miles south-east).

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
