Your questions about a fish and chip van for your party in Upper Dicker
Do you come out to small places like Upper Dicker?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is Upper Dicker close to London?
Roughly 45 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can the van park on my drive?
Typically, if the drive is level and firm and the van can get in. Send us a picture and tell us about gates and branches.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
When should we book for a summer party?
Summer weekends go first. Get in touch with your date.
Can you serve children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Let us know numbers, and we will include them in the plan.
Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
