Bassett Green: your questions answered
How far is Bassett Green from London?
About 68 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around Bassett Green?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your staff, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you serve visitors at events?
Yes. Visitors love it.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion, so we bring it along.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
