Questions from Mullenspond
What’s the nearest station to Mullenspond?
The closest is Grateley station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
Is Mullenspond too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
