Common questions in Preston
Can the van park in Oare Meadow?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Preston close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so get in touch early.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
Where the van can park in Preston
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
From the hatch
- Sausage and chips
- Pie and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Staff lunches
- Haddock and chips
