Is Winchfield Hurst too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring everything you need?

Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a picture if you can.

Not as standard: batter is usually made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Even at short notice, it’s worth asking.
