What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. Evening events in Littlebourne have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
