Questions from Crockerhill
Which station is closest to Crockerhill?
The closest is Fareham station, roughly 2.1 miles away.
Do you come out to small places like Crockerhill?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.
