What else we do in Seething Wells
Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Settle the pitch terms early
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Agree when volunteers will eat
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
Bins near the van help keep the site tidy.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Where the van can park in Seething Wells
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Information about power and water
- Space for a queue away from paths
As a London location, Seething Wells is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council parking suspension.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How it works
You’ll know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first visitors wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. At midsummer, events in Seething Wells stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in

Seething Wells: your questions answered
Can you come to a school fair in Seething Wells?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Could you trade in Hampton Court Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you cover Seething Wells?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, including Seething Wells and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, fill in our quote form.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Greater London included. See all areas.
How soon do we need to book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Planners, venues and businesses
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
If you are organising for someone else, whether you are a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. The cost per head generally falls as numbers rise, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
