Eversley Centre: your questions answered
How far is Eversley Centre from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
What food do you serve?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can portions be smaller?
We will plan portions with the home.
Working with your venue
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
