Pootings questions
How far is Pootings from London?
About 20 miles from central London.
Is Pootings too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you come onto our site?
Frequently, with a level spot and the site’s agreement. Facilities will decide the spot.
What if the weather’s bad?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, Kent included. Find your area.

Looking after everyone
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:

- Confirm allergies by email
When service is finished, we pack up.
Make it a regular thing: monthly or quarterly.
How it works
The van turns up at the agreed time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. A lunch-break van visit in Pootings is always in daylight, but later events need lighting: it’s dark by about 3:55pm in December.
- Send us the date, site, headcount and break times.
- You get a quote and answers to facilities’ questions.
- We arrange the van’s spot and arrival with the site.
- We cook to order for each group as they come out.
- We clear up and leave the site as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know the serving time
