Common questions in Chackmore
Is Chackmore too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Could you trade in Stowe Park and Garden?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
When should we book for December?
As early as possible. December weekends and Fridays are the first to go.
Do you do Christmas markets?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Do you come to Chackmore?
Yes, we do. We serve events in Chackmore and across Buckinghamshire. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
What time should the van serve at a Christmas party?
Early in the evening generally works best. For lunchtime, we’ll work to your break.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Buckinghamshire included. Find your area.

The van suits big events and small ones. Common bookings include:
- Depot Christmas treats
- PTA Christmas events

- Payment terms and deposit
- The cancellation terms
- When final numbers are due
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. The van fries on site. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. It’s worth asking early.
