Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Duns Tew
Do you come out to small places like Duns Tew?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
How far is Duns Tew from London?
About 62 miles from central London.
Do you do crew food?
We can. Tell us how many and when, and we’ll quote.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
What do we need to supply?
Tell us what’s available at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Agree who removes waste
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
Plan vehicle access before visitors arrive.
Takeaway run or book a van?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
