About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.

How it works
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. At midsummer, events in East Garston Woodlands stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading normally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
