Questions from Three Leg Cross
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?

How far is Three Leg Cross from London?
Roughly 38 miles from the centre of London.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What can visitors choose from?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We’ll agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Organising for someone else?
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
