Fish and chip van for events for Toddington events
What happens on the day
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, set up where we have agreed, and cook and serve without fuss. December events in Toddington lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:50pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
