Your questions about a fish and chip van for your team in Milland
Which station is closest to Milland?
Liphook station, about 2.4 miles north of the centre.
Is Milland too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for staff.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
How long are you on site?
We get there in good time to set up. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Planning for dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Send round an allergy question
- Consider a pre-order list
We arrive before your break to park and heat the fryers, so service starts on time.
Some teams make it a regular treat.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
