FAQs for Dunk's Green
Do you come out to small places like Dunk's Green?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Plaxtol Church: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is normally served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children normally love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How long are you on site?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.
What happens if it rains?
The weather doesn’t stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How do you handle allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Battered fish contains fish and, in standard batter, gluten. Tell us about allergies in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is usually simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Do we need to provide anything?
Tell us what’s available at the address when you enquire, and we’ll confirm what we need.
A closer look at the menu
Sausage and chips
For anyone who doesn’t fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and it’s a favourite with children.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, great with chips and sausages.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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.
Diets, allergies and planning
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Tell the neighbours the van is coming
- Ask about dietary needs on the invitation
- Send us a photo of the drive
- Send allergies to us in writing
Have bins and napkins by the van.
A few lights around the van look great.
Is a fish and chip van right for your party?
Next to a DIY barbecue, a chip van means nobody is stuck at the grill. Larger groups typically cost less per head, since the van and set-up are much the same for any size. Give us your numbers and we will quote.
