FAQs for Ibthorpe
How far is Ibthorpe from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Do you come out to small places like Ibthorpe?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Who clears up?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
How long will the queue be?
A short menu and staggered groups keep things moving. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Can you cook in the rain?
Rain does not stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Staff will appreciate cover near the hatch.
How does payment work for businesses?
We will talk you through booking and payment for businesses.
Do you need power or water?
Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there is power or water nearby and we will take it from there.
Do you do customer events and open days?
Yes, and it keeps people on site longer. Send us the timings and numbers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Office caterers bring cold buffets. A chip van serves hot food fresh from the fryer. Many fish and chip vans set a minimum, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We will tell you up front.
