Questions from Harmondsworth

Is parking a problem for the van in Harmondsworth?

It can be, so tell us about driveways, yards, car parks or a council suspension. We’ll plan around it.

What’s the nearest station to Harmondsworth?

What food do you serve?

That’s up to your venue, but close to the party is best. A photo of the area helps.

What does it cost to hire the van?

The price depends on numbers, menu, service time and travel. Send us the details for a quote.

Can you cook in the rain?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

That depends on your numbers and timings. We confirm all the timings beforehand.

What comes out of the fryer

Cod and chips

Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it goes out hot and crisp.

Gravy

A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?

Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.

For planners, venues and organisers

Hosting at home? Send a photo of where the van would park, and we will tell you honestly whether it works.
