Mockbeggar: your questions answered
Is Mockbeggar too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can the van go to venues in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
How quickly can you serve everyone?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we will advise.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
