A chip van near Perry
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

FAQs for Perry
Can you serve after a service at Elmstone 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 generally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Is Perry too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Do you bring everything you need?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Can the van park on the street?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is typically easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a picture if you can.
How far ahead should we book a party?
Summer Saturdays book up first, so it pays to ask early.
Do we need to provide anything?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
The process
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. Sunset in Perry drops to about 7:00pm by late September and 3:50pm by December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day
