Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will take it from there.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
