Little Barrington: your questions answered
Can you serve after a service at Church of St Peter?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Little Barrington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Do you do anything other than fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Is a chip van good for a large crowd?
Often, yes. Tell us your numbers and how long you have for food, and we will plan it with you.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
