How the day works
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, and we agree exactly where before the day. Around midsummer it stays light in Furze Platt until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:05pm, so summer evening service is normally in daylight. For winter events, when it is dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
- Plan where the queue will stand
