How our fish and chip van for events works in Northington
A van suits shows and field events, as long as there is a firm route onto the pitch. Typical bookings include food for volunteers and fish and chip supper nights, with mushy peas, curry sauce and haddock and chips.
Near Northington, events may be far from shops and cafés, so fish and chips goes down well. Your quote spells out what’s included: the date, the service time and the menu, with no surprises on the day.
Step by step
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. Summer events in Northington have daylight until about 9:25pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
