Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s especially welcome on a cold day.

Questions from Edgcott
How far is Edgcott from London?
Roughly 48 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Edgcott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Where does the van go on location?
Yes, on level ground at base; we’ll check the route.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac crew when you enquire, and we will be straight with you about what’s possible.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you work to the call sheet?
We can. Give us a contact for changes, and we’ll work around changes where we can.
What can crew choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
