Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Newington
Can you serve near the sea around Newington?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Which station is closest to Newington?
Ramsgate station, about 0.7 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your crew, and space for a queue. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Can you feed visitors on set?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
What if lunch moves?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we will work around changes where we can.
What do you bring?

- The day of the week
