Questions from Folkington
Is Folkington close to London?
Roughly 49 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Folkington?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. It’s a great way to end a shoot.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. See all areas.
Can you cater for allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.

Folkington is roughly 49 miles from central London. Nearby historic houses include Alfriston Clergy House (2.5 miles west) and Michelham Priory (3.4 miles north).
