Looking after everyone
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. We suggest:
- Agree how we will be paid: pitch fee, share of takings or minimum
- Offer a choice of traders where you can
- Set a time for helpers’ food
- Let us know about allergy rules on site
We arrive before the gates open to set up on the pitch.
Put the van near the entrance or the tea tent.
The menu, dish by dish
Curry sauce
The chip shop’s own curry sauce is mild and a little sweet, great with chips and sausages.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.

Other occasions in Northchapel
Should I sort the food myself?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. Winter fairs in Northchapel are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
