How it works
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Winter fairs in Steeple Claydon are dark by about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 9:00pm by late May.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Name one person we can call on the day
How to get a price
