How it works
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. An afternoon Christmas party in Ovington can start in daylight and finish in the dark, with sunset about 4:00pm, so put the van where there is good light.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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 your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
