How the day works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, we simply start frying a little later, so the food is still fresh when it’s served. In Rowledge, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:20pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:05pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- We start with a few details about your event.
- You get an availability check and a clear 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
- Check the way in for low branches, cables and narrow gates
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Keep space clear for visitors at the hatch
