Faberstown: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Faberstown?
The closest is Andover station, roughly 4.7 miles away.
We are gathering after a service at Church of St Peter in the Wood: can you come?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with somewhere for the van. Food is usually served at the reception venue rather than the church. Send us the address.
What do we need to supply?
Let us know about power and water at the site when you enquire, and we will confirm what we need.
Which areas do you serve?
We take the van across London and the South East, Hampshire included. Find your area.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
It can be. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
How do you handle allergies?
Tell us about allergies when you book, and we’ll tell you what’s in each item.
Which fish do you use?
Let us know which you’d prefer and we will confirm the menu.
How long will the queue be?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We will talk it through when we quote.

If you’re unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

The menu, dish by dish
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Cod and chips
Cod and chips is the meal most people picture when they think of a chip shop. Fried to order in the van, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
A chip van compared with other options
Ordering a takeaway for a crowd means long waits and food that cools on the journey. A van fries on the spot, so it’s crisp when it’s handed over. Most vans have a minimum charge, since getting the van there costs the same however many eat. We will tell you up front.
