Your questions about a fish and chip van in Warlingham
What’s the nearest station to Warlingham?
The closest is Upper Warlingham station, roughly 0.9 miles away.
Can the van park in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first.

Fish and chips is a meal in itself. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.

A level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
