Common questions in Wendlebury
How far is Wendlebury from London?
About 53 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Is Wendlebury too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
How much does a fish and chip van visit cost in Wendlebury?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Tell us about your care home visit and we will send a quote.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we will plan portion sizes with your team.
Are visitors included?
Yes. Add them to your numbers.
Do you do regular visits?
Ask us about repeat dates when you enquire.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Diets, allergies and planning
Nearly every event has some special diets. To plan for them:
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Count families who are joining in
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
Afterwards we pack up quietly.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
