Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. 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.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
A chip van compared with other options
Most events have a burger van. A chip van gives visitors something different. If you have a budget in mind, tell us, and we’ll suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is frequently the best value.

FAQs for Burroughs Grove
Do you trade at school fairs around Burroughs Grove?
Yes, if the school is happy for the van on site. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How far is Burroughs Grove from London?
Roughly 29 miles from the centre of London.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Standard batter is made with wheat flour, so battered fish contains gluten. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
