Questions from Drayton Beauchamp
Which station is closest to Drayton Beauchamp?
Tring station, about 3 miles east of the centre.
Is Drayton Beauchamp too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Just include them in your numbers.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
Can portions be smaller?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Takeaway run or book a van?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
