What happens on the day

- The production office sends us the location, dates, numbers and lunch time.
- We check access and send a quote.
- Parking and arrival are agreed with locations.
- We cook to order through the crew’s lunch break.
- Afterwards we pack up and leave the unit base clean.

Denham: your questions answered
Is Denham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Which station is closest to Denham?
Denham station, about 0.7 miles north of the centre.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Do numbers include extras?
Yes, include them in numbers. Tell us the day before.
What will the production need?
Tell us what the production needs and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you need power or water?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we will confirm what we need.
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
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.
