FAQs for Lynsore Bottom
Which station is closest to Lynsore Bottom?
Bekesbourne station, about 4.2 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we’ll advise.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we’ll include them in the plan.
Planners, venues and businesses

What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it is a favourite with children.
Pie and chips
Pie and chips gives people a filling alternative to fish, perfect with gravy.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
