Questions from Sutton
Do you come out to small places like Sutton?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you serve after a service at The Parish Church of the Holy Cross?
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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park at our house?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Tell us about allergies in advance.
What can guests choose from?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
