Burmarsh questions
What’s the nearest station to Burmarsh?
Westenhanger station, about 3.7 miles north-east of the centre.
Can you serve near the sea around Burmarsh?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What about residents on soft diets?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen.
Where should the van go?
Wherever suits the home, as long as it is level and safe.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Garden visits in Burmarsh work best between late spring and early autumn, with sunset about 8:45pm in late May and 7:00pm in late September; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
How to prepare
