Blindley Heath questions
Is Blindley Heath too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
How early do Christmas dates go?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you cover Blindley Heath?
Yes, we do. Blindley Heath is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Where can the van park?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
A cold buffet does not feel festive. Hot fish and chips is. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. Your quote spells it all out.
