A closer look at the menu
Haddock and chips
Some people swear by haddock: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food, especially in winter.
Step by step
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. For an evening event in Lower Froyle, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Share the timings for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
