How it works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. At midsummer, events in Old Netley stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the van can get in
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Confirm the van is allowed on site

There is: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
