15 questions to ask before booking

Allergies and dietary needs

A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Here’s how:

  • Send allergies to us in writing
  • Have a back-up for special diets
  • Check parking restrictions if the van is on the street
  • Count children separately

When everyone has eaten, we pack up.

Finish with the birthday cake.

Planners, venues and businesses

If you are planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It saves passing messages back and forth.

If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we will talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.

DIY versus a fish and chip van

Some hosts try a takeaway order. 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 guests instead.

Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.

Space, access and the venue

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. These are the things we check:

  • Confirmation that the van can park there
  • Light near the van and the queue for evening service
  • A level hardstanding, drive or firm lawn

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before you book.

Popular choices

  • Mushy peas
  • Chips
  • Haddock and chips
  • Curry sauce
  • Sausage and chips
  • Gravy
  • Pie and chips
  • Cod and chips

What comes out of the fryer

Curry sauce

The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.

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 goes out hot and crisp.

How it works

We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. A summer party in Sibford Ferris stays light until about 9:30pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it is dark by about 7:10pm; add lights for the evening.

  1. Send us the date, address, numbers and serving time.
  2. You get an access check and a clear price.
  3. We arrive, park on the drive or agreed spot and set up.
  4. We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
  5. We pack up when we’re done and leave the pitch tidy.

Getting ready for the day

  • Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
  • Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
  • Clear the route for the van

How to get a price

Sibford Ferris questions

We’re gathering after a service at Church of Holy Trinity: can you come?

Yes, at a home, hall or venue nearby where the van can park. Churches rarely have space for a catering van, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you’ll gather.

How far is Sibford Ferris from London?

Roughly 70 miles from the centre of London, and well within our area.

What do we need to supply?

Somewhere suitable to park, with permission. Tell us whether there’s power or water nearby and we’ll take it from there.

What food do you serve?

Chip-shop favourites: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.

Can you park on the road outside?

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Check with your council first.

Do you do street parties?

Yes, once the council has agreed the closure. Tell the council about the van.

How far ahead should we book?

Early, particularly for summer Saturdays and Christmas party Fridays. Even at short notice, it is worth asking.

What if the weather’s bad?

The weather does not stop the van, because the fryers are inside. Soft ground after heavy rain is the bigger issue, so have a hard-surface spot in mind.

  • Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
  • Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
  • The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
  • Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
