For event organisers in Bishopstone
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep you updated on arrival and serving times.
Many venues set rules for catering vans: parking spots, arrival times and documents. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will work through them with you.
The process
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Evening events in Bishopstone have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
