Questions from Boxford
Can the van go to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Is Boxford 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.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
When should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Planning for dietary needs
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Have a back-up for special diets
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Send allergies to us in writing
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Paper hats and crackers on the tables add to the fun.
