Can you serve children?

What time is best for the van?
Generally between about 8pm and 9:30pm, once the first dance is done. We will work to your timings.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac guests when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
