Questions from East Studdal
Is East Studdal too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
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.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in East Studdal?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
