How it works
You do not need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. The frying and serving are down to us. December events in Pamber Heath lose the light at about 4:00pm, so pitches need lighting; in late May there is light until about 8:55pm.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Preparing for the day
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
