How the day works
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer fêtes in Braywoodside have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare

About the food

Haddock has a slightly sweeter flavour and a firmer flake. It’s the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it is lovely with a pie.
