Lower Kingswood questions
Can the van go to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
Is Lower Kingswood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Organising for someone else?
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Display allergens for each stall
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
Where the van can park in Lower Kingswood
