Micheldever Station: your questions answered
How far is Micheldever Station from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Micheldever Station?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes. Just tell us who counts.
Can you park at the unit base?
Normally, with a level spot. Locations will decide where.
What if lunch moves?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Do you come to Micheldever Station?
Yes, we do. Micheldever Station is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A route in the van can manage, with no low branches or tight lanes
- Light near the van if needed
- Agreement from the location manager and landowner
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
From the hatch
- Haddock and chips
- Cod and chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Crew lunches
- Pie and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
