Common questions in Bramley Green
Which station is closest to Bramley Green?
Bramley (Hants) station, about 0.7 miles north-west of the centre.
Is Bramley Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. We will agree arrival and serving times with you.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, so the price fits what you need. Give us your date, numbers and serving time for a clear quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Compared with sandwiches on set, a chip van gives the crew a proper hot meal. Compared with a sit-down meal, a fish and chip van is often good value, because it needs no kitchen and no crockery hire. We will send you a quote.
