Planning an event in Dummer?
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

With a chip van, the host gets to enjoy the party too. The van parks, the fryers go on and the food goes out hot. We serve pie and chips, haddock and chips and sausage and chips, and we’re regularly asked to cater retirement parties and garden get-togethers.

Common questions in Dummer
How far is Dummer from London?
Roughly 50 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Dummer?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only in a legal space, or with the council’s permission. Check with your council first.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Can the van park on my drive?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we will advise.
What’s on the menu?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Children are very welcome. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Looking after everyone
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply

What affects the price in Dummer
There is nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- Service time
- The minimum booking
- How many people are eating
- Distance and any road charges
Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. Ask us what applies to your party.

The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out at the time you asked for. Autumn and winter parties in Dummer get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
