Questions from Castle Green
Can the van park in Milford Green and Coxhill Green?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
What’s the nearest station to Castle Green?
The closest is Brookwood station, roughly 2.6 miles away.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Surrey. Find your area.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
