Step by step
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. Arrival and serving times are agreed beforehand, park on the agreed spot, and get on with frying and serving. At about 4:00pm in late December, it gets dark in Hatherden, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us a contact for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
