A chip van near Parker's Green
Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In winter, it’s dark in Parker's Green by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. Summer wakes have daylight well into the evening.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
