How it works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. In Lower Cox Street, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:15pm, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
