Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
A chip van compared with other options
Cold food stalls are fine on a hot day, but hot food is a draw when it’s cool. Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

Drayton St Leonard questions
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for vehicles; ask your venue. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Is Drayton St Leonard 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.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Where do you take the van?
We take the van across London and the South East, Oxfordshire included. Find your area.
Do you bring everything you need?
All the cooking happens in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site.
