Hythe End questions
How far is Hythe End from London?
Roughly 20 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Hythe End?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A picture of the area helps.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can the van be part of the photos?
It generally ends up in a few photos. Bunting or lights make it even better.
Should I sort the food myself?
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.
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.
