Tinsley Green: your questions answered
Is Tinsley Green 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.
Is Tinsley Green close to London?
Roughly 25 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site in your enquiry, and we will say what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Tinsley Green.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it’s soon.
What if the weather’s bad?
We carry on in the rain, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
Can you park on the road outside?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
Allergies and dietary needs
A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:
- Let us know if anyone has coeliac disease
- Make sure the van can park legally
- Collect allergies with your RSVPs
- Give us separate numbers for children
With children, food about an hour in works well, before the cake.
Seats or a few tables help people eat comfortably.

A chip van compared with other options
