Questions from North Waltham
Do you come out to small places like North Waltham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is North Waltham from London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
It depends on the event: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We will agree terms before the day.
Can the van come to North Waltham?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including North Waltham. To check your date, send us your details through our quote form.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
Generally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A clear route onto the pitch
