Each booking is quoted on its own, and the price depends on a few things:
- Parking and the way in
- The length of service
- The menu and how many choices
- How many people are eating
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.

FAQs for Battramsley
What’s the nearest station to Battramsley?
Sway station, about 2 miles west of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Battramsley?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Planning the van’s spot
Every site is different, so we ask about the spot and the way in when you get in touch. In general, we need:
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- Access the van can manage
- Away from emergency access
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.
