Common questions in Hampden Park
Which station is closest to Hampden Park?
Hampden Park station, in Hampden Park itself.
Is Hampden Park close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so send us the list.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van come to Hampden Park?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Hampden Park is within our area and the rest of East Sussex. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for crew.
Should I sort the food myself?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the shoot.
