How it works
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your residents can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. In Wissenden, late spring and early autumn evenings stay light until about 8:45pm and 7:00pm; winter visits, dark by about 3:50pm, suit lunchtime.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo 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.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the van can get in
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
