Questions from Bilting
What’s the nearest station to Bilting?
Wye station, about 1.7 miles south of the centre.
Do you come to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
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’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you work around shifts?
Give us the break times and we’ll serve in waves.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we’ll go through it with you.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, fish and chips feels like a real thank-you. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
