Your questions about a fish and chip van for your event in Medmenham
Is Medmenham too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Medmenham?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
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.
Do you do school fairs and sports days?
We do. We will need a safe route onto the site away from children.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Medmenham.
When do you arrive?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
