Common questions in Temple Hill
Can you come to a school fair in Temple Hill?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Can the van park in Central Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Ask them first.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes, at a time that suits your schedule.
Do you have allergen information?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Can you come to a school event?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
Working with your venue
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
Should I sort the food myself?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
