Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Tisman's Common
Do you come out to small places like Tisman's Common?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac crew and we’ll explain the options.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item and what we can offer.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
