Other occasions in Jealott's Hill
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.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Planning for dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Agree how we’ll be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Display allergens for each stall
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Set a time for helpers’ food
When the event closes, we pack up.
Tables and seating nearby help families eat.
How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In Jealott's Hill, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
How to get a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, use our quote form.
