Questions from Hinxhill
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Can the van park in Conningbrook Lakes Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What does the pitch need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we’ll check it works.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
- Have other stalls for special diets
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A sign at the entrance tells visitors hot food is available.
