FAQs for Barrowhill
Is Barrowhill too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Mary: can you come?
Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Food is typically served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Where do you take the van?
We cover London and the South East, Kent included. See all areas.

Should I sort the food myself?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
