Swaythling questions
Which station is closest to Swaythling?
Swaythling station, in Swaythling itself.
Could you trade in Riverside Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Southampton. See all areas.
Is there a non-fish option?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will be honest about what’s possible.
What paperwork do you provide?
Send us your site’s list, and we’ll confirm what we can provide.

Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.

Can you serve each shift?
Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

Prices and what affects them
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Distance and any road charges
- The number of meals
- Service time
- The menu and how many choices
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
