Questions from Wickhambreaux
Which station is closest to Wickhambreaux?
The closest is Bekesbourne station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Wickhambreaux?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is normally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
