A chip van compared with other options
Burger vans are common at events. Fish and chips adds variety. Larger groups typically cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Give us your numbers and we’ll quote.

Weeke questions
How far is Weeke from London?
About 61 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in St. Cross Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Ask them first.
How much space do you need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a picture if you are not sure.
How fast is service?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan service around it.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Weeke.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
What food do you serve?
The classics: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
How big a pitch do you need?
Send us the pitch details, and we’ll check it works.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. At midsummer, events in Weeke stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
