Common questions in Anmore
Is Anmore 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.
Is Anmore close to London?
About 58 miles from central London, and well within our area.
What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
How much does a fish and chip van for your Christmas party cost in Anmore?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can hold the date.

- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- You get an access check and a clear quote.
- We agree arrival, lighting and the serving spot with you or the venue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We clear our spot and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
