How it works
Serving is straightforward: everything is handed over hot from the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. At midsummer, events in Blendworth stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
