Questions from Wootton
How far is Wootton from London?
About 60 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Do you trade at school fairs around Wootton?
Yes, with the school’s permission. Send us the date and where the van would go.
Do you fry it on site?
Yes. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, rather than made in advance.
Can the van park on the street?
Only where it’s legal to park, or with a council parking suspension or road closure. Ask your council early.
Do we need to provide equipment?
We bring the van and everything we need to cook. You provide a suitable spot and permission to park.
What’s on the menu?
The classics: cod, haddock, chips, sausages and pies, with mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. Our menu has the details.
Can you cater for helpers?
Yes. Tell us how many and when, and we will quote.
What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.
How it works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Winter fairs in Wootton are dark by about 3:55pm, so we need a lit pitch; in late May there is light until about 9:00pm.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- Batter, fish and chips all go into the fryer as people come up.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Preparing for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
