Questions from Lordington
Can you serve after a service at Racton Church?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Lordington too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
How early do summer dates go?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so ask early.

Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Include children in your numbers.
What do you bring?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

- Somewhere close to where people will eat
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
