Jordans: your questions answered
Do you come out to small places like Jordans?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Jordans?
The closest is Seer Green & Jordans station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who does not want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a sandwich lunch, hot fish and chips is a real lunch. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
