If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.

FAQs for Braishfield
How far is Braishfield from London?
About 68 miles from central London.
Is Braishfield too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What do you need on the pitch?
Tell us the pitch size and ground, and we will check it works.
What happens if it rains?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Visitors will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Is there something for children?
Of course. Children usually love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we will give you the allergen information.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Prices and what affects them
The same numbers can mean different prices, depending on:
- The date and time of year
- The number of meals
- Any minimum charge
- Access and parking
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.
