Your questions about a fish and chip van for your Christmas party in Leckhampstead
Is Leckhampstead 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.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Do you fry it on site?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
Is a fish and chip van right for your Christmas party?
Venue Christmas packages add up. A van in the car park keeps it simple. Dates make a difference: peak summer weekends and Christmas party Fridays book up first. Ask about your date early.
