What comes out of the fryer
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it is hot, crisp and generous.
The process
You’ll know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Summer fêtes in Farmoor have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Preparing for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Name one person we can call on the day
