Questions from Glassenbury
Could you trade in Crane Valley?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
Is Glassenbury close to London?
About 38 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is grass a problem?
Typically, if it’s firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can you trade at our Christmas fair?
Yes, and hot food goes down well in December. Send us the details.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
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. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
