What happens on the day
There is very little for you to do on the day: show us the spot, tell us when to start, and enjoy your event. The frying and serving are down to us. For an evening event in Caversfield, sunset is about 9:00pm in late May and 9:30pm in late June; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- The pitch is left tidy when we go.
Before we arrive
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
