Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Wishanger Common
Could you trade in The Flashes?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
