FAQs for Ratcliff
What’s the nearest station to Ratcliff?
Limehouse station, in Ratcliff itself.
Can the van park in Stepney Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.

A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
