Questions from Lower Stoke
Is Lower Stoke close to London?
Roughly 32 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Lower Stoke 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.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Do you cater wrap parties?
Yes. A chip van suits a relaxed wrap party.
What paperwork do you provide?
Productions vary, so ask your production office for the list.
Can you park on the road outside?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do you come to Lower Stoke?
We do. Lower Stoke is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we will check availability.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. Send us a picture if you’re not sure.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We’re happy to liaise with facilities on parking and timings.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
Pie and chips is hearty and filling, and it’s a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Should I sort the food myself?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What a fish and chip van costs
The price comes down to a few factors:
- Any minimum charge
- The day of the week
- Numbers
- How far we travel
Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
