Diets, allergies and planning
Allergies are taken seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Plan something for guests whose needs we cannot meet
- Have bins and napkins near the hatch
- Flag any coeliac guests, not just gluten-free preferences
- Let us know numbers for vegetarians and vegans
The fryers take a little while to heat, so we arrive well before service. If timings shift, we adapt.
Bunting or festoon lights around the van make it part of the decorations.
Step by step
Here’s how the day typically runs: we arrive, park up and set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time.
