The process
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. In Denmead, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:20pm; winter events, dark by about 4:00pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- First, tell us about your staff event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
