Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

Common questions in Dunbridge
What’s the nearest station to Dunbridge?
Dunbridge has its own station: Mottisfont & Dunbridge station.
How far is Dunbridge from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac residents when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Are visitors included?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
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.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
