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. In Chiddingfold, the garden season runs from late May, with light until about 8:55pm, to late September, around 7:05pm; in winter, keep it to lunchtime.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
