Step by step
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your visitors can wander over to the hatch once service starts. Summer events in Benhilton have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- First, tell us about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Ensure the van can get in
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
