How the day works
Expect a friendly, organised set-up. We agree arrival and serving times in advance, set up where we’ve agreed, and get on with frying and serving. In Wolvercote, a midsummer event stays light until about 9:25pm, while a late-September show is dark by about 7:10pm, so evening trading may need lights.
- Organisers send us the event, the dates and the pitch details.
- We confirm availability, our pitch needs and anything the event asks for.
- We set up before the gates open.
- We fry to order and serve from the hatch through the event.
- We pack down at the end and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Ensure the van can get in
