Questions from Gunville
What about events near the coast?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Could you trade in Seaclose Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including the Isle of Wight. Find your area.
Do you cater Christmas fairs?
Yes. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do you come to Gunville?
Yes, we do. Gunville is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
