East Wittering questions
Is East Wittering close to London?
Roughly 61 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve near the sea around East Wittering?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac crew in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much does a fish and chip van for the crew cost in East Wittering?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we’ll send a quote.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What will the production need?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list and we’ll go through it.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
