Longfield questions
How far is Longfield from London?
Roughly 19 miles from the centre of London.
Can the van park in Rectory Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
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’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van come to Longfield?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Longfield and the rest of Kent. For a quote, use our quote form.
