Step by step
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Loxwood; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Have a level parking spot ready

Should I sort the food myself?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order rarely arrives hot. A van cooks on the spot. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, as there is no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.

Loxwood questions
Is Loxwood close to London?
Roughly 34 miles from the centre of London.
Is Loxwood too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan service around it.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, West Sussex included. See all areas.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
