Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and nobody has to miss the event.
What happens on the day
Service is quick: food goes from the fryer to the hatch, and people can eat where they like. Afterwards we pack up. In Palestine, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your visitors.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
Getting ready for the day
