How it works
The first sign we’ve arrived is normally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. From then on, people come up as they’re ready. Evening events need a little planning for light: in Cambridge Heath, sunset is around 8:50pm in late May and 9:20pm in late June, while in December the light goes at about 3:55pm.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch

Diets, allergies and planning
Dietary needs are easiest to plan with some notice. Our advice:
- Tell us about vegetarian and vegan guests early
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Put allergy details in writing
- Keep the menu short to keep the queue moving
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If plans change, tell us and we will adjust.
Put the menu up by the hatch so people decide while they wait.
