Palmarsh questions
Can the van go to venues in the Kent Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for staff are worth planning.
Where will the van go on our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. We’ll agree the exact spot with you or facilities.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we’ll explain the options.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
The process
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Lunchtime staff treats in Palmarsh are in daylight all year round, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:50pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- We check access and send a quote, with anything your site needs from us.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We serve hot from the hatch through your break or shifts.
- We pack up and leave the space as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Name one person we can call on the day
