A chip van near Wallington
What happens on the day
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your Christmas party. We handle the cooking and serving. Sunset in Wallington in late December is about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- You tell us the date, the venue or site, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat.
- We check access and lighting at the spot and send a price.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order and serve from the hatch on time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
