Common questions in Waldershare
Is Waldershare too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is Waldershare close to London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Can you cater for allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Is grass a problem?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
