FAQs for Postcombe
Can the van go to venues in the Chilterns National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
How far is Postcombe from London?
About 40 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What if we only have street parking?
That depends on local parking rules. Off-road parking is typically simpler; for the street, check the council’s rules.
Can the van park on grass?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Does a chip van work for big events?
It depends on numbers and timings. A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving.
What happens if it rains?
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.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
How long does set-up take?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance.
Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Put allergy details in writing
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Arrange an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
After service, we pack up.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
