Questions from Chale
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you come out to small places like Chale?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Do we need to provide anything?
A suitable spot for the van, mainly. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Where do you take the van?
London and South East England: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Chale.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you come to Chale?
We do. Chale is one of the places we cover. Tell us your date and we’ll check availability.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Mention any power or water available and we’ll confirm the rest.
Working with your venue
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
Booking for a company? Tell us what your finance team needs, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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.
What comes out of the fryer
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger guests and fish-dodgers.
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
