Before you choose a spot

- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
- A route in without tight gates or low branches
- Lighting nearby for evening events
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
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 is crisp.
