Bay View: your questions answered
Is Bay View 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.
How far is Bay View from London?
Roughly 43 miles from the centre of London.
Does a chip van work for big events?
Often, yes. Give us your numbers and service time, and we will plan it with you.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we will confirm what we need.
Where can the van park?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, close to where people will eat, and space for a queue. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
Can you cook in the rain?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
