How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In Drayton, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:25pm; winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, need a lit spot for the van.
- We start with a few details 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.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your staff.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Before we arrive
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Get permission for the van from the venue
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: share your date, address, rough numbers and when you’d like to eat. We’ll send a clear quote that says what’s included.
