Planning an event in Tyringham?
The process
We don’t cook ahead. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December events in Tyringham lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 9:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
Getting a price
It is easy to get a price: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We will send a clear quote that says what’s included.
