FAQs for Inner Avenue
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
Is Inner Avenue close to London?
Roughly 69 miles from the centre of London.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How does payment work for businesses?
We’ll explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll plan it with you.
Can the van come to our open day?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Can you come onto our site?
That is up to your site, but a car park or yard is usually ideal.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Ask staff about allergies with a simple form
- Ask facilities about access
- Ask facilities what paperwork they need
When service is finished, we pack up.
Tell the team in advance: it is half the fun.
Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Is a fish and chip van right for your staff event?
Corporate buffets are generally cold. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your staff event is.
