How it works
If the plan changes on the day, a quick word is all it takes: we can start a little later or slow the pace. In December, it is dark in Rodmell by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
Before we arrive
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Have a level parking spot ready
