Walton Hall questions
Is Walton Hall too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Walton Hall?
Bow Brickhill station, about 1.5 miles south of the centre.
What does it cost to hire the van?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your shoot and we will send a quote.
Is grass a problem?
It depends on the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is generally simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.

Near Walton Hall, check tracks and ground for the van. Food is served straight from the hatch, so it’s hot and generous, and the queue keeps moving.

Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Planners, venues and businesses
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
