Common questions in Alderholt
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Alderholt.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
