How it works
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 when you’re ready to eat. Around midsummer it stays light in Shepherd's Green until about 9:25pm; by late September sunset is nearer 7:10pm, so summer evening events are usually served in daylight. For winter events, when it’s dark by about 3:55pm, the van and the queue need lighting.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- 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.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
