Hart Plain questions
How far is Hart Plain from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Hart Plain?
The closest is Rowlands Castle station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Where will the van go on our site?
Typically, if there’s a level spot and the site allows it. We will agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Organising for someone else?
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we will work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 generally the easier option.
Why choose corporate fish and chip catering in Hart Plain?
It doesn’t need a meeting room, a kitchen or a restaurant booking, so it is easy to organise.
