Could you trade in Blanchman's Farm?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first.

What does the van need?
Less than you might think: a drive, a car park, a yard or a firm lawn, with a clear way in. Send us a photo if you’re not sure.

It is. The fryers are in the van, so it’s fried on the spot, rather than made in advance.
