Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Arrange an alternative for anyone who cannot eat from the van
- Have bins ready for paper and trays
- Count suppliers working late
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
Ushers or bridesmaids can send tables up in turn.

Falconwood: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Falconwood?
The closest is Welling station, roughly 0.5 miles away.
Is parking a problem for the van in Falconwood?
It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We will work around it.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What do you bring?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Some venue evening menus are light. Fish and chips fills people up. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, sunset in Falconwood is about 9:20pm, which helps us time evening food around your photos. Sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Your choice of menu
- Distance and any road charges
- How many people are eating
- How easy the site is to reach
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your wedding.
What to tell us
These details help us quote quickly:
- Expected numbers
- The address or venue name
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
- A photo of the parking spot
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you actually need. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Where the van can park in Falconwood
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and help find another. The main points are:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
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.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
