Shipton Bellinger questions
Is Shipton Bellinger too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
What’s the nearest station to Shipton Bellinger?
Grateley station, about 3.4 miles south-east of the centre.
Do you trade at schools?
We do. We will agree access before the children arrive.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event generally works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Do you take everything away?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. If in doubt, send a photo.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
Do you need power or water?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we’ll confirm what we need.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is typically the easier option.
