Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Stede Quarter
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Stede Quarter from London?
About 42 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van come to our street party?
Yes, where the council allows it. Start the road closure application early.
When should we book for a summer party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we’ll take it from there.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
