FAQs for Biggin Hill
What about parking in Biggin Hill?
London parking needs planning: let us know about off-street space or permits. We will plan around it.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
Yes. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for visitors are worth planning.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Do you come to Biggin Hill?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Biggin Hill is within our area and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What affects the price in Biggin Hill
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Parking and the way in
- Travel, tolls and road charges
- Whether a minimum applies
- The menu and how many choices
Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest how to make it work. Keeping the menu short is generally the best value.

- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
- A picture of the parking spot
- Any dietary needs and allergies
It’s easy to get a price: tell us the date, place, numbers and serving time. We’ll come back with a clear quote.
