Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
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 visitors instead.

Sibertswold questions
How far is Sibertswold from London?
About 61 miles from central London.
Can you serve near the sea around Sibertswold?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind does not affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Where can the van park?
Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
Can you come to a school event?
Yes, once the school agrees where the van goes. Tell us the date and where the van would park.
What’s on the menu?
Proper fish and chips, with sausages and pies for anyone who doesn’t want fish. The sides are mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy.
Do we need to provide anything?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will say what we need.
When do you arrive?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Can you serve children?
Children are very welcome. Tell us how many children, and we will include them in the plan.
