Questions from Glebe Farm
Can you come to a school fair in Glebe Farm?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Glebe Farm from London?
Roughly 44 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes. We’ll need a safe route onto the site away from children.

How it works

- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.

- Settle the pitch terms early
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
Should I sort the food myself?
