Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will take it from there.

Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.

Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can everyone take part?
Yes: residents on soft diets can share the occasion with meals from your kitchen, following their care plans.
