Twitham questions
Do you come out to small places like Twitham?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What’s the nearest station to Twitham?
The closest is Adisham station, roughly 2.4 miles away.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
How much space do you need?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can you cater for helpers?
We can. Give us numbers and a time.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We will talk it through when you send the details, and we will find something that works.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.

Why choose a fish and chip van in Twitham?
