Is Britwell Salome close to London?
About 41 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

Where can the van park?
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.
Can the van park on my drive?
That depends on the space and the route in. Mention anything tight, and we will advise.

- A quote that spells everything out
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there’s sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.
