Questions from South Heighton
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park in Castle Hill?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for residents.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, East Sussex included. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Do you cover South Heighton?
Yes, we do. South Heighton is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Why choose a fish and chip van in South Heighton?
Compared with a takeaway delivery, a van serves hot food on site, so it isn’t lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your care home visit is.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- Everything cooked to order at your event
