Mindenhurst: your questions answered
Can the van park in Frimley Lodge Park?
Only if the landowner, usually the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Is Mindenhurst close to London?
About 29 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not 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.
Can you park at our house?
Usually, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
What does it cost to hire the van?
It depends on numbers, the menu, how long we serve and travel. Send us the details for a quote.
How soon do we need to book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so get in touch early.
How long will the queue be?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan to keep the queue moving.
Do you need power or water from us?
Let us know about power and water at the house, and we’ll say what we need.
Organising for someone else?
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Venues frequently have their own rules about outside caterers and vehicles: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we’ll work through them with you.
Prices and what affects them
Here’s what makes the biggest difference to the price:
- Whether a minimum applies
- The day of the week
- How many people are eating
- How far we travel
A chip van frequently compares well with a plated meal, as there’s no kitchen to hire and nothing to wash up. Ask us for a quote.
What we need to know
To check availability and price, we need:
- Any dietary needs and allergies
- How to get in: gates, lanes and ground
- Where the event is
- Rough numbers for adults and children
