Allergies and dietary needs
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. We suggest:

Cover near the hatch helps on wet days.
What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. On a winter shoot near Worton, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. Summer shoots have daylight until about 9:30pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
