What else we do in Amberley
Step by step
Rain does not stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. It gets dark in Amberley by about 4:00pm at Christmas; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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 your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know the serving time
- Ensure the van can get in
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
