FAQs for Statenborough
Which station is closest to Statenborough?
Sandwich station, about 1.4 miles north-east of the centre.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac staff in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What about staff who do not eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

- Lighting nearby for evening events
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Flat, firm ground for the van
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

A fish and chip van or other catering?
Ordering takeaway for a whole site is slow and the food arrives cold. A van fries on the spot. There’s no one-size-fits-all price for a fish and chip van. A short service and a long afternoon’s trading are very different bookings. We set everything out in your quote.
