Plan where the queue forms, especially near rides and games.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.

Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Lychpit
Can the van park in Eastrop Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
How far is Lychpit from London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lychpit.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
