Molesey questions
How far is Molesey from London?
About 13 miles from central London.
Could you trade in Cigarette Island Park?
Only if the landowner, normally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you work to the call sheet?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. A contact on the day is all we need.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What does the van need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your crew, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we will explain the options before booking.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
