Questions from Battramsley
Can you serve near the sea around Battramsley?
Yes, of course. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Is Battramsley 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.
Do you do street parties?
Yes, with the council’s permission for the road closure. Mention the van in your application.
What do children eat?
Most children go for sausage and chips. Tell us how many children to expect.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
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.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
Organising for someone else?
Hosting at home? Send us a photo of the drive or the spot and the way in, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
