Your questions about a fish and chip van visit in Three Oaks
Is Three Oaks too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Which station is closest to Three Oaks?
Three Oaks has its own station: Three Oaks station.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
Do you do regular visits?
Tell us how often you’d like a visit.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll say what we need.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Three Oaks?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we’ll reply with a price.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Planners, venues and businesses
Parks, greens and streets usually need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Tell us what your venue needs and we will confirm what we can provide.
