Upper Chute questions
Is Upper Chute 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.
How far is Upper Chute from London?
Roughly 65 miles from the centre of London.
What areas do you cover?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Do we need to provide equipment?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
How long does set-up take?
We get there in good time to set up. We will agree arrival and serving times with you so food is ready when you want it.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is generally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.

Planning the van’s spot
We will be honest if a spot won’t work. What matters most:
- A lit spot for evening service
- Access the van can manage
- Away from bedroom windows
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Pie and chips
- Gravy
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
