Questions from Bassett Green
Can you serve near the sea around Bassett Green?
Yes, of course. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
What’s the nearest station to Bassett Green?
Swaythling station, about 0.6 miles east of the centre.
What paperwork do you provide?
Every production asks for different things, so ask your production office for the list.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Do you do wrap parties?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Do you clear up afterwards?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Food your guests will love

Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it’s lovely with a pie.
