What else we do in Studdal
Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Studdal
Which station is closest to Studdal?
The closest is Martin Mill station, roughly 2.3 miles away.
Can you serve near the sea around Studdal?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
How big a pitch do you need?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will confirm.
What are the terms for events?
That varies: pitch fee, percentage or minimum. We’ll agree it in writing.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Studdal.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What can visitors choose from?
Proper fish and chips, plus sausage or pie and chips. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
