Questions from Vernham Street
Is Vernham Street 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.
Is Vernham Street close to London?
About 62 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can you park at the home?
In the car park or on the drive, away from ambulance routes.
What can residents choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. Mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy go on the side.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
