Woolton Hill questions
Is Woolton Hill close to London?
Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Woolton Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you cover Woolton Hill?
We do. Woolton Hill is one of the places we cover. Send us your date to check availability.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for residents are worth planning.

What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. For a summer visit in Woolton Hill, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:25pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
