How the day works
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. At midsummer, events in Norton Ash stay light until about 9:15pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties do not mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
