Common questions in Newton Leys
Could you trade in Waterhall Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first.
We’re gathering after a service at Water Eaton Church Centre: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. Everything is fried fresh in the van, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we will advise.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
