A chip van near Wanshurst Green
The process
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. Sunset in Wanshurst Green in late December is about 3:50pm, 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 the spot for the van and send a quote.
- Arrival time and a well-lit spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- Afterwards, we pack up and leave you to the party.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We’ll follow the site rules.
Is Wanshurst Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.

How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Is everything cooked fresh?
It is. We cook inside the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
When should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
