Planning the van’s spot

- The landowner’s or organiser’s permission for the van
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- What’s available on the pitch

Takeaway run or book a van?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
What happens on the day
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. December events in West Langdon lose the light at about 3:50pm, so we need a lit pitch; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
