Questions from Sibford Ferris
Do you trade at school fairs around Sibford Ferris?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Tell us the date and pitch details.
How far is Sibford Ferris from London?
Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.
Can coeliacs eat the battered fish?
Not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac visitors and we’ll explain the options.
What do you need on the pitch?
A firm pitch with space for a queue. Mention any power or water.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We clear the van’s area after service. Tell us where bins can go for people’s paper and trays.
What happens if it rains?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
When should we book?
The sooner the better. Peak dates go quickly, so it pays to ask early.
Can the van park on grass?
That depends on the weather and the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and send a photo if you can.
Working with your venue
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we’ll keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. Ask the council or landowner early.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.

About the food
Pie and chips
A pie and chips is proper comfort food, and it is a favourite in colder months.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it goes perfectly with a pie.

- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
