FAQs for Passfield
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Passfield too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.

- Agree the plan with your kitchen and care team
