How the day works
You don’t need to do much on the day: point us to the spot and get on with your event. We handle the cooking and serving. Evening events in Taplow have light until about 9:25pm at midsummer; after dark, we need a lit pitch.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will 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.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
Getting a price
