What if the weather’s bad?
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers: the cooking is inside the van. Residents will appreciate cover near the hatch.
Working with your venue
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Tell us what your venue needs and we will work through them with you.
How it works
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. In summer, Amberley has daylight until about 9:20pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
