The process
The first sign we have arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Around midsummer it stays light in Weston until about 9:20pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 4:00pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, 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
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Share the timings for the day
