Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Bramdean
How far is Bramdean from London?
About 54 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come out to small places like Bramdean?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Do numbers include extras?
Of course. Just tell us who counts.
Can the van come to our wrap?
Yes, and crews love it. Send us the date and place.
Do you cover Bramdean?
Yes, we do. Bramdean is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Working with your venue
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan service to match. Staggering groups helps a lot.
