The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. December events in Flansham lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:50pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- 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
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
