Thorncross: your questions answered
Is Thorncross too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Is there a non-fish option?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
Do you work around shifts?
Yes, with the shift pattern in advance. We’ll agree a service plan before the day.
Can you come onto our site?
Your facilities team decides, but a car park or yard is normally ideal.
Where can the van park?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your staff, with room for a queue at the hatch. Tell us about gates, lanes and soft ground.
Looking after everyone
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Give us break and shift times
- Flag any coeliac staff
- A pre-order helps with numbers and allergies
- Ask facilities about access
Keep the queue clear of fire exits and traffic in the car park or yard.
A few tables or benches outside make it a proper break.
What the van needs
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A level, firm spot the van can drive onto
Thorncross is a more remote spot, so tell us early and we’ll plan the journey.
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you honestly.

Step by step
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. For a staff lunch in Thorncross, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 4:05pm, so evening events need a lit spot. A summer after-work event has daylight until about 9:20pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Give us a contact for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Make sure the van can get in

DIY versus a fish and chip van
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
With a barbecue, somebody ends up at the grill. With a van, nobody from the team has to cook. Comparing vans? Look at what each quote includes: service time, menu, travel, any minimum and VAT. Our quotes spell it all out.
