Allergies are taken seriously. Here’s how you can help:

- Agree when volunteers will eat
Have a hard-standing back-up pitch in case the ground is soft.

About our fish and chip van for events in Glympton
Country shows and field events suit a van, if the ground is firm enough for vehicles. For festivals and sports tournaments, we will put together a menu of cod and chips, chips and sausage and chips.
Near Glympton, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Everything we need comes with the van, and we pack up and leave the spot as we found it.

Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Who books fish and chip van for events in Glympton?
Organisers book a chip van because it is one of the most popular stalls at any fête.
If you are planning any of these, we can help:

The process
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. Winter fairs in Glympton are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Preparing for the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Clear the route for the van
- Let us know the serving time
