FAQs for John's Cross
Which station is closest to John's Cross?
The closest is Robertsbridge station, roughly 1.7 miles away.
Can the van go to venues in the High Weald National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Can you serve each shift?
Yes, if we know the times. We’ll plan it with you.
Do you do customer events and open days?
We do. A chip van gives visitors something to queue for and talk about.
Do you take everything away?
The pitch is left as we found it. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Can we pay by invoice?
We will explain how it works when we quote for businesses.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac staff and we will explain the options before booking.
What if we only have street parking?
It depends on the road. A drive, car park or yard is generally easier; for the street, check the council’s rules.

For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
