FAQs for Lower Stoke
Do you come out to small places like Lower Stoke?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you come to a school fair in Lower Stoke?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Is there something for children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we’ll include them in the plan.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
What if the weather’s bad?
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who isn’t a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Tell us about the pitch
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Display allergens for each stall
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A few benches near the van help.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
