FAQs for New Yatt
Is New Yatt close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to New Yatt?
Finstock station, about 2.7 miles north of the centre.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Do you do regular visits?
We are happy to talk about repeat visits.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Planning the van’s spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- A clear way in for the van
- A level parking spot near the entrance
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
