Street End: your questions answered
Is Street End too small for a chip van?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.
We are 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. Tell us where you’ll gather.
Can you park near the barn?
That is up to your venue, but near the reception works best. Send us a photo of the spot.
Can you serve children?
Of course. Children typically love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
How long will the queue be?
It depends on numbers, the menu and how people arrive. Give us your numbers and service window, and we will plan to keep the queue moving.
What areas do you cover?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight, including Street End.
Will the van be in our photos?
Many couples love having it in the photos. If not, ask your venue to park it out of the main photo spots.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Tell us about it when you enquire, and send a photo if you can.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
