Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- Access and parking

- Cod, haddock or both
- The date and time of year
When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. We set ours out clearly.

Lower Twydall: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Lower Twydall?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can the van park in Riverside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we’ll plan service around it.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Lower Twydall.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for staff.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
