If the van can park there, we can fry there: a drive, a car park, a yard, a showground or a firm lawn in and around Hydestile. Popular choices include curry sauce, cod and chips and pie and chips, and we’re often booked for visits to care homes and day centres and christmas parties.
Somewhere like Hydestile, a yard or firm field frequently works. Gates, verges and soft ground are worth mentioning when you enquire. Food is served straight from the hatch, so every portion is hot, and the queue keeps moving.
