Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Westley
How far is Westley from London?
About 63 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Westley?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site.
Do you have documents for productions?
Productions vary, so send us the list.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
