Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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.

Questions from West Wickham
Could you trade in Millers Pond?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.

What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
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’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.

When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
For planners, venues and organisers
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
