How the day works
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. For an evening event in Bexon, sunset is about 8:50pm in late May and 9:15pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good 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.
