Your questions about a fish and chip van for your wedding in Hangersley
Do you come to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
We’re gathering after a service at St John the Baptist: can you come?
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 typically elsewhere. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
Do we need to provide equipment?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
When should evening food go out?
Whenever suits your day. After the first dance is the most popular time.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Which areas do you serve?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
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.
