About our fish and chip van for events in Allhallows
The van is self-sufficient on the pitch, so we need little help from busy volunteers. We’re frequently asked to cater sports days and church fêtes and fish and chip suppers, serving curry sauce, mushy peas and chips.
Near Allhallows, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. You’ll know what’s included before you book: serving times, the menu and anything else agreed.
Step by step
We work to your timings. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it is served. Evening events in Allhallows have light until about 9:20pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
