Town Row questions
Do you come out to small places like Town Row?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Town Row close to London?
About 34 miles from central London.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
Do you need power or water?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time and we’ll reply with a price.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before booking.
Prices and what affects them
Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- The length of service
- Parking and the way in
- Your choice of menu
- Travel, tolls and road charges
There is no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A one-hour staff lunch is a different job from serving all afternoon at a fête. Your quote spells it all out.
What to tell us
To speed things up, tell us:
- Your date and serving time
- Expected numbers
- A photo of the space and the way in
- Access details such as gates and narrow lanes
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we’re available that day.
