- Information about power and water
- Space for a queue away from paths
- A back-up spot if the ground is soft
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Allergies and dietary needs
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll tell you honestly what we can offer. To make it work smoothly:
- Agree who removes waste

Step by step
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, timed around your event. Summer fêtes in Hampden Park have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your visitors.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
