Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before you book.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
