Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot when you are ready to eat. In summer, Street End has daylight until about 9:20pm, so an early-evening garden visit works well. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for residents.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Ensure the van can get in
- Keep space clear for residents at the hatch
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park

Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but there are a few things to check:
- A clear way in for the van
- Lighting for later visits
