Havenstreet: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Havenstreet?
Smallbrook Junction station, about 2.2 miles east of the centre.
Is Havenstreet too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
Can you cook in the rain?
The weather does not stop the van, because the cooking happens inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.
How many evening guests should we cater for?
Not every guest eats in the evening. Tell us your numbers and timings, and we will advise.
Which areas do you serve?
We cover London and the South East, the Isle of Wight included. Find your area.
Do you do evening food for weddings?
Evening food is exactly what we do. We’ll fit around your first dance and band.
Where will the van go at our venue?
Often, if the ground is firm and the venue agrees. We will agree the spot in advance.
How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. For a summer wedding in Havenstreet, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
- Share your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check access at the venue and send a price.
- We agree arrival and serving times with you and your venue.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Preparing for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Let us know the serving time
