How the day works
The first sign we have arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first crew wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Winter shoots near New Malden chase the light, which goes at about 3:55pm in December, so lunch at base is often in daylight but a wrap meal isn’t.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check the route in and send a price.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
