Common questions in Lydden
How far is Lydden from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Can you park in our car park or yard?
That’s up to your site, but car parks and yards usually work well.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Corporate fish and chip catering for your staff event in Lydden
The van parks in the car park or yard, so nobody has to leave site. Whether it is end-of-project celebrations and summer staff parties, we can cook haddock and chips, cod and chips and pie and chips.
For farms and rural sites near Lydden, we can bring a hot lunch to the yard. Tell us about access. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few staff with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Check the site’s requirements for caterers
- Send round an allergy question
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies

We can serve each shift in turn.
Somewhere to sit outside helps.

Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
