Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your visitors instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Where the van can park in Great Stonar
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- A clear route onto the pitch
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
