The process
We work to your timings. If things run late, we hold off cooking until you are ready, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. Winter fairs in Ringwould are dark by about 3:50pm, so pitches need lighting; spring events have light until about 8:45pm by late May.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A photo of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your visitors.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Before we arrive
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Make sure the van can get in
- Plan where the queue will stand
