- Hot food handed straight over
Paulsgrove: your questions answered
Could you trade in Alexandra Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you serve near the sea around Paulsgrove?
Yes, of course. Wind does not affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
