Common questions in Tickleback Row
Is Tickleback Row close to London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Michael and All Angels?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, where the council allows it. Check your council’s rules on road closures and vehicles early.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think.
