DIY versus a fish and chip van
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
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 cooks in front of your visitors instead.
Where the van can park in Upper North Dean
Every site is different, so we will ask about yours before we confirm. In general, we need:
- Space for a queue away from paths
- Somewhere firm if it rains
- A level, firm pitch the van can drive onto

About the food
Curry sauce
Some people will not eat chips without curry sauce and it is on the menu.
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it’s lovely with a pie.
Looking after everyone
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To get it right:
- Ensure allergen information is available
- Agree who removes waste
- Give us an idea of numbers
- Plan something for visitors we can’t cater for
We set up before visitors arrive, at the agreed time.
A spot near the entrance or main ring works well.
What happens on the day
We do not cook ahead. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. December events in Upper North Dean lose the light at about 3:55pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- Contact us 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
