Badger Farm: your questions answered
Is Badger Farm close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Which station is closest to Badger Farm?
The closest is Winchester station, roughly 1.5 miles away.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Let us know about coeliac visitors in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Arrange bins and waste collection
- Display allergens for each stall
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
Mark out the queue area away from walkways.
A clear route for the van before the gates open avoids problems.
The menu, dish by dish
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers, especially with curry sauce.
Curry sauce
Some people won’t eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
