A chip van near Temple Ewell
Temple Ewell: your questions answered
Can you serve near the sea around Temple Ewell?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Temple Ewell?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van come to Temple Ewell?
Yes. We take the van across London and the South East, and Temple Ewell is within our area. For a quote, use our quote form.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot; we’ll check access.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, including Kent. See all areas.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the care home visit.
