Questions from Tokers Green
Is Tokers Green close to London?
About 39 miles from central London.
Is Tokers Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you cover Tokers Green?
Yes. We cover London and the South East, and Tokers Green is within our area and the rest of Reading. For a quote, use our quote form.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
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, including Tokers Green.
What affects the price in Tokers Green
These are the factors that matter most:
- How easy the site is to reach
- The menu and how many choices
- Peak dates such as summer Saturdays
- Whether a minimum applies
Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. Ask us what applies to your event.
What we need to know
These details help us quote quickly:
- The date and when you’d like to eat
- Where the van would park
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Roughly how many people, including children
Send us the date, the address or RG4 postcode and rough numbers, plus when you’d like to eat, and we’ll reply with a quote. To get started, fill in our quote form.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Summer fêtes in Tokers Green have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
