Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets generally need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will explain how it works. We are happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.

FAQs for Ash Green

Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Tell us the details.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What happens on the day
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Sunset in Ash Green is about 8:55pm in late May, 9:20pm at midsummer and 7:05pm in late September; for early or late service, base needs lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
