Step by step
Because we cook inside the van, rain does not stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. In autumn and winter, it’s dark early in Woodside; plan a lit path from the door to the van.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Name one person we can call on the day

Could you trade in Silwood Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council. Check with them first.

It is. The fryers are in the van, so food is cooked there and then, not cooked earlier and kept warm.

Do you do anything other than fish?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Tell us about other diets and we’ll be honest about what’s possible.
What happens if it rains?
We carry on in the rain, because the fryers are inside. Very soft ground can be a problem, so plan a back-up spot on a hard surface.
