Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Hannington
Do you come out to small places like Hannington?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Hannington?
Overton station, about 3.4 miles south-west of the centre.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Do you cover Hannington?
Yes, we do. Hannington is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before you book.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
