Party fish and chip van in Temple Fortune, fried fresh

The process
Serving is straightforward: food goes from the fryer to the hatch. Afterwards we pack up. At midsummer, it is light in Temple Fortune until about 9:20pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
