The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Long summer days in Alfold Crossways, with light until about 9:20pm, suit evening wraps outdoors, while by late September it’s nearer 7:05pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
