Westerton: your questions answered
How far is Westerton from London?
About 52 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
We’re gathering after a service at The Parish Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Cod or haddock?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It is a full meal on its own. You can add your own desserts if you like.

What comes out of the fryer
Cod and chips
Cod has big, soft white flakes and a mild flavour, and it is what most people in the south ask for. We batter it and fry it to order, so it’s crisp when it reaches you.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
