Lenham Forstal: your questions answered
Is Lenham Forstal 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.
Can the van park in Kiln Wood?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we will confirm what we can provide.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:

A pre-order list speeds things up and helps with allergies.
