Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your guests instead.

About 42 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
What’s the nearest station to Ringmer?
Glynde station, about 2.4 miles south of the centre.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.

Generally, with the venue’s agreement and firm ground. We’ll agree the spot in advance.

Can you serve children?
Of course. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. Bins for guests are worth planning.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, not cooked earlier and kept warm.
