How it works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. Sunset in Lingfield Common is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the 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
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Name one person we can call on the day
