The process
We arrive on time, parks where we agreed and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts at the time you asked for. Summer events in Segensworth have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:10pm by late September, so evening trading typically finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- You send us the event details and pitch information.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- At the end, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy.

What else we do in Segensworth
Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
