A closer look at the menu

Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people, and they’re on the menu.
The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Visitors will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. Evening events in Netherfield have light until about 9:15pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
