How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. December events in Wargrave lose the light at about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:55pm by late May.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

- A hard-standing or firm grass pitch
- Space for a queue away from paths
- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
If you are unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.
