Questions from Bracknell Forest
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Yes. Tell us the lunch time and a contact on the day, and we will adjust where possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.

Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
