Looking after everyone
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:

It’s worth telling the neighbours.
Bunting and festoon lights by the van make it part of the party.
Common questions in Leckford
Is Leckford close to London?
Roughly 64 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Could you trade in Longstock Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How far ahead should we book a party?
As early as you can for summer weekends. Ask about your date.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Will the van fit on our drive?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.

The process

- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
