Questions from Honey Hill
How far is Honey Hill from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in Tyler Hill Meadow?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We will agree it in writing.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
What affects the price in Honey Hill
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- How far we travel
- Numbers
- The length of service
Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
