Near Eridge Green, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

FAQs for Eridge Green
Can the van park in Eridge Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
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’ll follow the site rules.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes. Tell us the date, site and numbers as early as you can.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
