For event organisers in South Weston
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work, and suggest an alternative. The main points are:
- A spot residents can enjoy, inside or out
- Away from emergency access
- A lit spot for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before booking.
