Planning for dietary needs
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Count children separately
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Arrange an alternative if needed
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Your own cake makes the perfect finish.
About our party fish and chip van in Nately Scures
The queue at the hatch gets people mixing. On the menu are haddock and chips, cod and chips and curry sauce, and typical bookings are for christenings and naming days and street parties.
In a small place like Nately Scures, a party in the garden or a nearby field is often the plan. Let us know about access, and we’ll handle the rest. We serve from the hatch, so it is hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.
Common questions in Nately Scures
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St. Nicholas: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Which station is closest to Nately Scures?
The closest is Hook station, roughly 1.2 miles away.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we’ll say what we need.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Hampshire included. See all areas.
