FAQs for Locks Heath
Can you serve near the sea around Locks Heath?

Do you do street parties?
Frequently, yes. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can you do something for the children?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Who clears up?

What if the weather’s bad?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.
