Your questions about a fish and chip van for the crew in Culmers
Do you come out to small places like Culmers?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Culmers from London?
About 46 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is usually simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for crew.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will plan for them.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
