Planners, venues and businesses
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few visitors with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Plan crew and volunteer food times
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Plan bins near food stalls
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
At the end, we pack down and leave the pitch clean.
Pre-selling meal tickets helps us plan.
FAQs for Lordington

Do you do festivals?
Send us the event details, dates and pitch information and we’ll let you know if we’re available.
Is the fish gluten-free?
No, not as standard: batter is normally made with wheat flour. Let us know and we will tell you what we can do.

Food your guests will love
Sausage and chips
Sausage and chips is the go-to for anyone who is not a fish fan, especially with curry sauce.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Where the van can park in Lordington
Plenty of places work for the van, but a few things matter:
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto
- Space for a queue away from paths
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise.
On the menu in Lordington
- Sausage and chips
- Cod and chips
- Haddock and chips
- Curry sauce
- Mushy peas
- Chips
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
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. A van fries it right there, so it is crisp.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
