West End: your questions answered
Could you trade in Itchen Valley Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
Is West End close to London?
About 67 miles from central London.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
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 tell you what we can offer.
Do you cover West End?
We do. West End is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
