Questions from High Salvington
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How far is High Salvington from London?
About 47 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can residents with special diets join in?
The home knows each resident best. Tell us about any diets and we’ll explain what we can offer; soft and texture-modified meals should come from your kitchen.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Planners, venues and businesses
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Food your guests will love
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
