The process
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. Summer fêtes in Littlemore have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:25pm at midsummer, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Make sure the van can get in
