The process
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. For an evening event in Upper Bush, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Give us a contact for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
Getting a price
We quote for each event separately, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
