Burstow: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Burstow?
The closest is Gatwick Airport station, roughly 1.3 miles away.
How far is Burstow from London?
Roughly 24 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Do you do anything other than fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you work around shifts?
Tell us the shift and break times and we’ll plan service around them.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
For planners, venues and organisers
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
Diets, allergies and planning
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Share the shift pattern
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
- Agree the van’s spot with facilities
- Collect allergies in advance
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic.
A simple pre-order helps us plan.

Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your staff instead.
