Common questions in Snagshall
Do you come out to small places like Snagshall?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Snagshall?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 3.3 miles away.
Do you come to Snagshall?
We do. Snagshall is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Crew will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can the van come to base?
Generally, with a level spot. We will agree the spot with your location manager.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
