Common questions in Fisher's Pond
What’s the nearest station to Fisher's Pond?
Eastleigh station, about 2.3 miles south-west of the centre.
Can you come to a school fair in Fisher's Pond?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
That varies: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
