Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Burnt Hill: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Burnt Hill?
Pangbourne station, about 4.2 miles east of the centre.
Is Burnt Hill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What if we only have street parking?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Ask your council early.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we will plan for them.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Popular dates book up first, so it pays to ask early.
What do you bring?
Everything is cooked in the van. Tell us about power, water and bins at the site and we will confirm what we need.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, West Berkshire included. See all areas.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Normally, if it is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
A fish and chip van or other catering?
A venue plus caterer can be expensive. A van on the drive keeps it simple. Got a budget? Let us know, and we will suggest a menu and timing to match. A short menu is often the best value.
