Common questions in Murcott
Is Murcott close to London?
Roughly 51 miles from the centre of London.
Is Murcott too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
What can guests choose from?
Fish and chips, of course, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is there something for children?
Yes, children are easy to cater for. Tell us how many children, and we’ll plan for them.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we’ll explain the options before booking.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. We cook inside the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
What affects the price in Murcott
There’s nothing hidden: the price is based on:
- How many people are eating
- The day of the week
- Any minimum charge
- Parking and the way in
Travel, tolls and charges such as ULEZ can affect the price, so it helps to give us the postcode.
