Questions from Graveney
Can you serve near the sea around Graveney?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How far is Graveney from London?
Roughly 46 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, it is a popular wrap. Send us the date and place.
What about crew who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
