FAQs for Sandling
What’s the nearest station to Sandling?
The closest is Maidstone East station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Is Sandling close to London?
About 30 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van come to Sandling?
Yes, we do. Sandling is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:
- Tell us about coeliac staff specifically
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Give us break and shift times
Bins and napkins by the van make it easy.
A gazebo near the hatch helps on wet days.
