FAQs for Falconwood
What about parking in Falconwood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.
Could you trade in Shoulder of Mutton Green?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
What do children eat?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
- Flag any coeliac guests
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up.
A sign by the hatch with the menu speeds things up.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the party.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Organising for someone else?
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.

What happens on the day
We take care of the food from arrival to the last chip, so you can get on with your party. At midsummer, it’s light in Falconwood until about 9:20pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Make sure the van can get in

Before you choose a spot

- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
- A clear area by the serving hatch
As a London location, Falconwood is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
