The menu, dish by dish
Pie and chips
For a heartier option, there’s pie and chips, perfect with gravy.
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
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 is fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Ask traders for allergen information to display
- Tell us about the pitch
- Share any nut or allergy policies
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
Agree a wet-weather pitch on hard standing in case the ground is soft.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
The process
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, timed around your event. For an evening event in Burgh Heath, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we are done.
How to prepare
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
