Westcott Barton questions
How far is Westcott Barton from London?
Roughly 62 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Westcott Barton too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is short notice a problem?
Wakes are frequently arranged quickly, so send us the date and we’ll answer straight away.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How do we estimate numbers?
Give us your best estimate, and we’ll firm it up nearer the day.
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.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
