Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Hextable
Is Hextable close to London?
About 13 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you cover Hextable?
We do. Hextable is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. Find your area.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
