FAQs for Stone Corner
Do you come out to small places like Stone Corner?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Stone Corner from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What about residents who do not eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can portions be smaller?
Portion sizes are agreed in advance.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
