FAQs for Bisham
Is Bisham close to London?
Roughly 30 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you come out to small places like Bisham?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can you adjust to schedule changes?
Schedules move, and we plan for it. Keep us updated and we’ll adapt.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for crew are worth planning.
Before you choose a spot
The right spot keeps everyone safe and the service smooth. We look for:
- Level, firm ground at base
- A clear route to base
- Light near the van if needed
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:

- Ask for dietary needs on the crew info form
We clear up quickly after lunch.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your crew instead.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
