Is Keeper's Corner too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is fish and chips enough as a meal?
It’s a full meal on its own. Many hosts add their own desserts or cake.
What if the weather’s bad?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Is grass a problem?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
