FAQs for East Stourmouth
Can the van park in Grove Ferry Picnic Area?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Ask them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like East Stourmouth?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park near the barn?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
How much space do you need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
