How the day works
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. Evenings in Wildmoor stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.

In a small place like Wildmoor, the van often parks on a farm track, a field or a drive. Country lanes and long drives are fine if we know about them, and firm ground matters more than anything. Everything is fried fresh at your event, not cooked earlier and kept warm, and handed over as soon as it is ready.
