How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen and the hatch goes up. When the fryers are up to heat, service starts right on schedule. Sunset in Kings Cross is around 8:50pm in late May and 7:05pm in late September; winter visits, dark by about 3:55pm, suit lunchtime.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
