What happens on the day
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. A summer party in Redford stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day, we park up and get the fryers going.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
- We pack up when we are done and leave the pitch tidy.

Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Common questions in Redford
Is Redford 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.
Which station is closest to Redford?
The closest is Liphook station, roughly 3.1 miles away.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is usually easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.
What does the van need?
A level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, with room for a queue at the hatch. Mention any narrow gates or soft ground.
How do you handle allergies?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Do we need to provide anything?
Mostly just a good parking spot. Tell us what’s available and we’ll take it from there.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Planning for dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Ask guests about allergies when they reply
- Let your neighbours know
- A picture of the parking spot helps
- Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
Plan where the queue stands.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.
Space, access and the venue
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- The site’s agreement to a catering van
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.
