- A picture of where the van would go

The process
When we arrive, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we are hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. Evening events need a little planning for light: around Blindley Heath, it stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, but by late December it’s dark by about 3:55pm.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- 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 guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Plan where the queue will stand
