Awbridge: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Awbridge?
Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, about 1.5 miles north of the centre.
Do you come out to small places like Awbridge?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What will facilities need from you?
Every site asks for something different, so ask facilities for their list and pass it on.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes, it is a great draw. Tell us the expected numbers and hours.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: hours, menu, travel, minimum charge and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
Why book with us
- No kitchen needed
- Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy on the side
- A quote that spells everything out
- Fried fresh, not kept warm
