Christenings and naming days often start at a local church such as Church of Saint Mary Magdalene, with fish and chips at home or in a hall afterwards. Thinking of using Longfield Chalk Bank?

Westwood: your questions answered
Is Westwood close to London?
Roughly 18 miles from the centre of London, and we cover it as standard.
Is Westwood 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.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and we will advise.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Do you take everything away?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What does the van need?
Not much: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a photo.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
Can you park at our house?
Frequently, yes, with a level drive and a clear way in. Send a photo of the drive and the way in.
