We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:

Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van solves that by cooking on site.

What happens on the day
Nothing gathers a crowd like the smell of fish and chips. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. At midsummer, events in Wouldham stay light until about 9:20pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, the pitch needs lighting.
