Planners, venues and businesses
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can hold the date.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we’ll confirm what we can provide.
How the day works
It is a relaxed, well-organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. Winter fairs in Warnford are dark by about 4:00pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there’s light until about 8:55pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Clear the route for the van

Roughly 56 miles from the centre of London.
Do you come out to small places like Warnford?
No, we come to small places too. Let us know about access and parking.

Less than you might think: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you are not sure.
What if we only have street parking?
Only where it is legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we will be honest about what’s possible.
Do you pay a pitch fee?
We’ll talk it through when you send the details, and we will agree terms.
Do we need to provide equipment?
The van comes fully equipped to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Tell us about coeliac visitors when you enquire, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible.
