- Numbers
- The date and time of year
- How long we serve
- Travel, tolls and road charges
The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and access to the site. We quote for each booking individually.

Teynham: your questions answered
How far is Teynham from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What’s the nearest station to Teynham?
Teynham has its own station: Teynham station.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your visitors, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
How do you charge at fêtes?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll agree terms.
For planners, venues and organisers
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
What happens on the day
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer events in Teynham have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready
Getting a price
