How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your visitors, which we agree with you beforehand. Summer events in Snowdown have daylight until about 9:15pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.

DIY versus a fish and chip 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.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
