Planning the van’s spot
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
What we serve
- Cod and chips
- Chips
- Mushy peas
- Sausage and chips
- Curry sauce
- Haddock and chips
Should I sort the food myself?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is usually simpler.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. A few tips:
- Plan something for visitors we cannot cater for
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Agree the terms in writing
- Tell us about any school or event allergy policies
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
A few benches near the van help.
