Common questions in Winchelsea Beach
Is Winchelsea Beach too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. Wind doesn’t affect the fryers, but plan a sheltered spot for the queue.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will give you the allergen information and what we can offer.
Where do you take the van?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Can you park at our house?
It depends on the drive and the access. Tell us about gates, slopes and overhead branches, and we’ll tell you honestly.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Include children in your numbers.
How fast is service?
That depends on numbers, menu and timing. Give us your numbers and service window, and we’ll plan service around it.
Can you park on the road outside?
It depends on the road. Off-road parking is typically simpler; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hidden charges: the price is based on:
- The number of meals
- How long we serve
- Parking and the way in
- The minimum booking
Larger groups normally cost less per head, because the van, travel and set-up cost much the same either way. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.
What we need to know
For a quote, it helps to have:
- The address or venue name
- Roughly how many people, including children
- Where the van would park
