The process

Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Lunchtime bookings in Standlake are in daylight all year; winter evening events are dark by about 3:55pm, so evening events need a lit spot. Summer events have daylight until around 9:30pm.

  1. You share your date, numbers and address.
  2. We check access for the van and quote.
  3. We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
  4. Everything is fried to order as the queue moves.
  5. Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.

Preparing for the day

  • Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
  • Keep space clear for staff at the hatch
  • Tell us when you want to eat
