FAQs for Watersfield
Which station is closest to Watersfield?
Pulborough station, about 2.5 miles north-east of the centre.
Is Watersfield close to London?
About 44 miles from central London, and well within our area.
How soon do we need to book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
We do. Send us the event details and the pitch information.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
A closer look at the menu
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
