Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and food goes out hot at the agreed time. Summer fêtes in Perry have long light evenings, with sunset about 9:15pm at midsummer, but by late September the light goes at about 7:00pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- You share your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive early to park and heat the fryers.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- Service is straight from the hatch, then we pack up.
Before we arrive
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Ensure the van can get in

Every booking is quoted individually, based on your numbers, timings and travel. To ask for one, send us your details through our quote form.
