Questions from Bloodden
How far is Bloodden from London?
Roughly 58 miles from the centre of London.
Which station is closest to Bloodden?
Bloodden has its own station: Adisham station.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
When do you arrive?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Do you cover Bloodden?
Yes, we do. Bloodden is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll confirm the rest.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
