FAQs for Upper Arncott
Is Upper Arncott close to London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Upper Arncott 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.
Can you feed our volunteers and crew?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
What are the terms for events?
Tell us how your event usually works with traders, and we will agree terms.
Do you trade at schools?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
Do you take everything away?
We clear the van’s area after service. Let us know about bins for visitors.
When do you arrive?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Every booking is priced individually, and the price depends on a few things:
- How easy the site is to reach
- Cod, haddock or both
- The length of service

Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so tell us exactly where your event is.

- Agree who removes waste
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
- Send us the pitch size and ground conditions
- Set a time for helpers’ food
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
