How it works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. It’s worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. Evenings in Blackwall stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; once it’s dark, we need light by the hatch and the queue.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day we arrive in good time, park up and heat the fryers.
- Everything is fried fresh and handed over from the hatch.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
How to prepare
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Clear the route for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
