As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
Is there a non-fish option?

What happens when we hire the van?
The van comes to you, cook fresh on site, and serve at the time you want.
How do you handle allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
