Step by step
A typical booking goes like this: we arrive, park up and set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. In December, daylight in Durrant Green ends around 3:50pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- 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.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
