Common questions in Etchingwood
Is Etchingwood too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
How far is Etchingwood from London?
Roughly 37 miles from the centre of London.
What about guests who don’t eat fish?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will confirm the rest.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Tell us about your party and we’ll send a quote.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
Generally, if it’s firm and dry. Soft, wet ground can trap any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.
