Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Barnes Cray
Could you trade in Braeburn Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Which station is closest to Barnes Cray?
Slade Green station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac staff when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
