Wilsley Green questions
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Could you trade in Crane Valley?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can everyone take part?
The home knows each resident best. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can you come every month?
Tell us how frequently you’d like a visit.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
