The process
The first sign we’ve arrived is usually the smell. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. At midsummer, events in Keynor Estate stay light until about 9:20pm, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- We arrive at the agreed time and set up on the pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

Planning help
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.

Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
