Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Wadhurst
Is Wadhurst close to London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you come every month?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
