Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Sandwich Bay Estate
What’s the nearest station to Sandwich Bay Estate?
The closest is Sandwich station, roughly 1.9 miles away.
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.
What can residents choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can portions be smaller?
We’ll plan portions with the home.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options before booking.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
