Questions from Hurstbourne Priors
Which station is closest to Hurstbourne Priors?
Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, about 2.3 miles north-east of the centre.
Do you trade at school fairs around Hurstbourne Priors?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your event and we’ll send a quote.
Can you trade at our fête or festival?
Tell us the date and pitch details and we’ll check.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is generally simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
What are the terms for events?
It depends on the event: a pitch fee, a share of takings or a guaranteed minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
