- Lighting nearby for evening events
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise before booking.

Step by step
We arrive in good time before you want to eat, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your staff can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a staff lunch in Astwood, daylight is not an issue, but a winter evening event is dark by about 3:50pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:25pm.
- Tell us what you are planning and when you’d like to eat.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Frying for a crowd at home is not a good idea: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
