Catering in Craster
        
 
Craster Kipper in a Bun and the Auchtermuchty Sandwich are my 2 specialties. Click on the haggis for more info.

 

Want to find out more about the homemade scones, who makes them where they are made and why they are so good. (feature coming soon)

NEW! K9 Cafe
  For all dogs that have been taken for a good stroll, there is now fresh water and some food at the side of the van. This service is absolutely free of charge. Every day there is a barrel of fresh drinking water with a bowl and tasty dog treats to tide them over. There is even a his and her bowl. Please feel free to treat your pet

Free Fruit.
We all know the importance of our 5 a day plan, sometimes we forget when we are out and about so here at my van you can get free fruit with every sandwich order, all you need to do is help yourself just incase i forget to remind you during busy periods

Comments book is being updated. Check back soon to enter a competition

As of this date 7th April 2010 There has been 3 complaints made against myself being at Craster and quite honestly it is extremely pathetic but nonetheless maybe they genuinely do have a complaint, i'll let you decide.
 
Complaint No1
The complaint is apparently simple. I have no right to be trading at Craster Car Park as i do not have a licence or pay rates.   Stupid really because i have paid over £1000 to be there. which anybody can get in touch with the council and they can tell you or better still come to the van and i'll blooming show you it if your the complain tiff. 
 
Complaint No 2
Somebody has complained that i have A frames (sandwich boards) advertising my business . Yes i do but aren't you allowed to advertise your business because everybody else that has a Business in Craster have A Frames advertising theirs. Just for the record, my frames do not sit on any public highway and are collected everynight and stowed away.
 
Complaint No3
And you will love this one but then again maybe you can see their point. There has been a complaint against me providing customers with Tables and Chairs to sit at, 4 tables in total . 
 
These are genuine complaints as i had a visit from a council representative. I am 99.9% sure who the moaner, sorry, complainer is and i am 99.9% certain it's about a car but more details will follow on that one. If you absolutely agree with the 3 Complaints then please e-mail Northumberland County Council or myself (andy@piperspitch.com) alternatively if you find it absurd then send me an e-mail and i'll post here on my website. If you are the moaner, sorry, complainer then find something genuine to complain about, infact i can make it easy for you, i'll leave a bit of cheese on the ground so you can tell the council i am making a mess you silly sod.
