Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
FAQs for Lions Green
Is Lions Green close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Lions Green too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Can the van come to Lions Green?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, including Lions Green. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
