Questions from Beal's Green
How far is Beal's Green from London?
Roughly 40 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Which station is closest to Beal's Green?
The closest is Etchingham station, roughly 4.4 miles away.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, wherever locations agree; we’ll check the route.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
