Do you clear up afterwards?

Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.

Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. When service is finished, we pack up and leave the pitch tidy. Summer evenings in Goosey stay light until about 9:25pm, but in December it’s dark by about 4:00pm.
