The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time.

- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.

- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
