What happens on the day
When we arrive, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. At midsummer, events in Jericho stay light until about 9:25pm, which helps evening trading. For winter events, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- It starts with your event and pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We clear the pitch when the event closes.
Getting ready for the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
How to get a price
Every quote is worked out for your event. Give us your date first, and we’ll confirm whether we are available that day.
