Charleshill questions
How far is Charleshill from London?
Roughly 35 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Is Charleshill too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Popular dates book up first, so contact us early.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Weekends from May to September are busiest, so it pays to ask early.
What does it cost to hire the van?
We quote for each booking, based on your numbers and timings. Tell us your date and rough numbers for a clear quote.
Can the van park on grass?
Often, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so plan a back-up spot.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Do you have allergen information?
Yes, we can tell you which allergens are in each item. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Send us any allergies in writing.
Looking after everyone
Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To look after them:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we can’t meet
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Send allergies to us in writing
After service, we pack up and leave the drive tidy.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
