Where the van can park in Rew Street
The van has to be able to get in and park safely, so a few things need checking. Here’s what we look for:
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
For somewhere as remote as Rew Street, early notice helps us plan the trip.

How it works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, and chips are fried in batches through service. In Rew Street, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
