How the day works
We need a level, firm place to park the van, close to where people will eat, and we agree exactly where before the day. In December, daylight in Wellbrook ends around 3:55pm, so the unit base needs lighting for late service. In summer, light lasts until about 9:15pm.

- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for the crew.
