How it works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. Summer events in Well Street have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:00pm by late September, so evening trading generally finishes in daylight in high summer. Winter fairs, dark by about 3:50pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Tell us when you want to eat
