The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce

Cod and chips
Cod is the classic: mild, white and flaky, and it’s the favourite in much of the south. We batter it and fry it to order.
For event organisers in SE19
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease

- Ask about allergies on your invitation or sign-up form
- Tell us how many children are coming
Bins and napkins near the hatch make life easier.

Questions from SE19
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for guests.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Can you cater for allergies?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac guests in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
