FAQs for East Ashling
How far is East Ashling from London?
About 55 miles from central London.
Do you come to venues in the South Downs National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is the fish gluten-free?
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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you come to East Ashling?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and East Ashling is within our area and the rest of West Sussex. For a quote, send us your details through our quote form.
