What happens on the day
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Summer events in Long Sutton have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm the date, what we need on the pitch and any documents.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We trade from the hatch all event, frying to order.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
