Maidenbower: your questions answered
Is Maidenbower close to London?
About 27 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Tilgate Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
What will facilities need from you?
Tell us what your site needs when you enquire, and we will confirm what we can provide.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Can the van park on the street?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
