- Confirmation the van can trade there
- A clear route onto the pitch
- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

At a field event near Longmoor, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. We cook inside the van, right where your visitors are, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.

About the food
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock is a little sweeter than cod, with a finer, firmer flake. It is the traditional favourite in Scotland and much of the north.
Step by step
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. Summer events in Longmoor have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
