Planning an event in Nately Scures?
Nately Scures: your questions answered
Is Nately Scures too small for a chip van?
Not at all. We serve villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.
Can you come to a school fair in Nately Scures?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. We’ll talk it through when we quote.
What about visitors who do not eat fish?
Sausage and chips and pie and chips are on the menu. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we will tell you what we can offer.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
What does the pitch need?
Level, firm ground the van can reach, and room for a queue. Tell us about power and water.
How far ahead should we book?
As early as you can, especially for summer weekends and December. Ask about your date even if it is soon.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
Fish and chip van for events in Nately Scures, cooked to order
Everything is cooked as people come up, so it’s hot and crisp. For charity fundraisers and community events and food for volunteers, we will put together a menu of chips, haddock and chips and cod and chips.
At a field event near Nately Scures, power and water may be limited; let us know and we’ll plan for it. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and nobody has to miss the event.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. In Nately Scures, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
