How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you are ready to eat. At midsummer, events in Black Bourton stay light until about 9:30pm, which helps evening trading. Winter fairs, dark by about 4:00pm, need a well-lit pitch.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
