Sarisbury Green: your questions answered
Which station is closest to Sarisbury Green?
The closest is Swanwick station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
How far is Sarisbury Green from London?
Roughly 68 miles from the centre of London.
What happens if it rains?
The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
Is the food cooked at the event?
It is. The fryers are in the van, so it is fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
How long does set-up take?
That depends on your numbers and timings. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Are visitors included?
Yes, it is a lovely chance for families to visit.
What food do you serve?
Fish and chips, of course, plus sausage or pie and chips. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Is grass a problem?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
