What happens on the day
The smell of the fryers does the inviting. Each piece of fish is battered and fried to order, with chips cooked in batches as the queue moves. In winter, it is dark in Beamond End by about 3:55pm, so for an afternoon wake, light near the van and the door helps. In summer, there is daylight until about 9:25pm.
