East Guldeford questions
Is East Guldeford too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of St Mary?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is usually elsewhere. Send us the address.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
When should we book for a summer party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
Can you park at our house?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including East Sussex. Find your area.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do before booking.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
