Near Weston, country lanes are dark in winter, so let us know about access and lighting. We keep the menu short: a few classics done properly keeps the food fresh and the queue moving.
FAQs for Weston
Can the van go to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will follow the site rules.
What’s the nearest station to Weston?
The closest is Petersfield station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
When should we book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes. Tell us the date and pitch.
