Robertsbridge questions

What’s the nearest station to Robertsbridge?

Robertsbridge has its own station: Robertsbridge station.

Is Robertsbridge close to London?

About 43 miles from central London, and well within our area.

Do we need to provide equipment?

We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.

How long will the queue be?

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.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

What can residents choose from?

The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Is the food cooked at the event?

Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.

Can families and staff eat too?

Of course. Just include them in your numbers.

Is a fish and chip van right for your care home visit?

The home’s kitchen can make fish and chips, but a van makes it an event. A chip van often compares well with a plated meal, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. We will send you a quote.
