What happens on the day
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, events in Walton Manor stay light until about 9:25pm, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:55pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- You get our pitch needs and a quick answer on availability.
- On the day, we arrive and set up our pitch.
- We cook fresh and serve through the day.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park

Should I sort the food myself?
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.
