Common questions in Adisham
Is Adisham close to London?
About 58 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Adisham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can residents with special diets join in?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.

Working with your venue
Organising a club, school or community event in Adisham? Fish and chips is a reliable crowd-pleaser. Tell us about the event and we will take it from there.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
Space, access and the venue
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- Away from emergency access
- A lit spot for evening service
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before you book.
