FAQs for Donkey Street

What’s the nearest station to Donkey Street?

The closest is Westenhanger station, roughly 3.4 miles away.

Is Donkey Street 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.

What can staff choose from?

The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.

Can you feed staff across different shifts?

Tell us the shift and break times and we will plan service around them.

Do you do anything other than fish?

Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.

What if the weather’s bad?

Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.

Can you go on a lawn or field?

It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we’ll advise.

Who clears up?

We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
