Coggins Mill: your questions answered
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Coggins Mill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
