A little planning makes sure everyone is looked after. Try these:

Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.

What comes out of the fryer
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it’s on the menu.
Sausage and chips
A sausage and chips is the chip-shop classic for younger visitors and fish-dodgers.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.

How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Evening events in Cryers Hill have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Get permission for the van from the venue
