Sturry: your questions answered
Can the van park in Chequer's Wood and Old Park?
Only if the landowner, typically the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Sturry close to London?
Roughly 54 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
When do Christmas bookings fill up?
Very early. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Can the van come to our work Christmas do?
Yes, with a level spot such as a car park and the site’s agreement.
Can you serve in the cold?
We cook inside the van, so the weather doesn’t stop us. Keep the van close to the door.
Food your guests will love
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s what most people in the south ask for. It is battered and fried to order.
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Plan your Christmas party in Sturry around the dark: the light goes at about 3:50pm, so a lit, sheltered spot for the van is essential.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
