South Bersted: your questions answered
Which station is closest to South Bersted?
Bognor Regis station, in South Bersted itself.
Can you serve near the sea around South Bersted?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Can you park at the home?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
