Common questions in Millbank
Which station is closest to Millbank?
Herne Bay station, about 2.4 miles north-west of the centre.
How far is Millbank from London?
About 55 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, alongside public trading or on its own.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we’ll find something that works.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Mushy peas
Proper mushy peas start with dried marrowfat peas. They’re the classic side with fish and chips.
