The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, close to where people will eat, which we agree with you beforehand. In December, it’s dark in Kingsnorth by about 3:50pm, so plan lighting for any party after mid-afternoon. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- 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.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Clear the route for the van
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Have a level parking spot ready
