How it works
Here’s how the day normally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, Little London has light until about 9:25pm, while by late September it’s nearer 7:10pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Give us a contact for the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
