What the van needs
Before the day, we’ll agree where the van parks. A good spot ticks these boxes:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue that doesn’t block walkways
- Firm, level ground for the pitch

How it works
We get there well before service, park the van and get the fryers going. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer fêtes in Hannington have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
How to prepare

DIY versus a fish and chip van
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.
