Party fish and chip van in Old Netley, fried fresh

FAQs for Old Netley
Do you come out to small places like Old Netley?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Could you trade in Westwood Woodland Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, typically the council. Check with them first.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
Can the van park on my drive?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
How long does set-up take?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
