What else we do in Sullington
How the day works
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In Sullington, the sun sets at about 9:20pm in late June and about 7:05pm in late September, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.

- 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.

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is typically simpler.
