How it works
We arrive on time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. A wake in Elm Park in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:05pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for family and friends.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
