Step by step
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Each portion is battered and fried as it’s ordered, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. In Foley Park, a summer staff event stays light until about 9:15pm; winter events, dark by about 3:50pm, need a lit spot for the van.

- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
