Common questions in Bishop's Green
Is Bishop's Green too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Peter: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is generally elsewhere. Send us the address.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What do we need to supply?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can you do something for the children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include them in your numbers.
Can you come to a street party?
Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.
How much space do you need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How long are you on site?
We arrive well before service to park and heat the fryers. Timings are agreed in advance so food is ready when you want it.
Party fish and chip van in Bishop's Green, cooked to order
Food is fried to order, so it is hot and crisp, rather than sitting on a buffet table all afternoon. For summer garden parties and anniversary celebrations, we can cook sausage and chips, curry sauce and pie and chips and more.
