Fresh fish and chips in Wrotham Heath
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.

Wrotham Heath: your questions answered
Can the van park in Trosley Country Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Wrotham Heath?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What will facilities need from you?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can you cook in the rain?
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.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Can the van come to Wrotham Heath?
Yes, we do. Wrotham Heath is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
