Larkfield: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Larkfield?
The closest is New Hythe station, roughly 1 mile away.
Can you come to a school fair in Larkfield?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How big a pitch do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Where the van can park in Larkfield
If a spot is not suitable, we’ll tell you. The main points are:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Confirmation the van can trade there
- Somewhere firm if it rains
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.
Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
