Could you trade in Ockwells Park?

Can you come to the house?
Yes, if there’s somewhere level and firm to park the van close to the house.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Is grass a problem?

About the food
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. In the north and in Scotland, haddock is the classic.
Curry sauce
Curry sauce divides opinion and it’s on the menu.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
