Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
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.
Common questions in Aldermaston
Could you trade in Padworth Common Local Nature Reserve?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Do you come out to small places like Aldermaston?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. We cook inside the van, so it is fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
How fast is service?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. We will talk it through when we quote.
What food do you serve?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Where will the van go at our venue?
That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. Send us a picture of the spot.
Before you choose a spot
No two venues are the same, so we’ll ask about yours when you get in touch. Generally, we look for:
- Confirmation that the van can park there
- A lit spot if service runs after dark
- A clear area by the serving hatch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.
