Planning the van’s spot
Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- A queue area clear of rides and games
- Access that avoids crowds
- A wet-weather pitch on hard standing

What happens on the day
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. For an evening event in Didling, sunset is about 8:55pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June; after that, the pitch needs good lighting.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- We cook to order on the day for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
