- What’s available on the pitch
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- Access that avoids crowds
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY versus a fish and chip van
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
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 typically the easier option.

How it works
