How it works
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In summer, Three Ashes has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 4:00pm, a lunchtime visit is better.

- 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.
