Takeaway run or book a van?
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it is hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it is fried on the spot.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
What happens on the day
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer visit in Tingewick, residents can enjoy the garden in daylight until about 9:30pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
