The process
You will know we’re ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. In Gibraltar, it is dark by about 7:05pm in late September and 3:55pm in December.
- First, the plan: what, where and what time.
- You hear back on the date and the price.
- The van’s spot is fixed in advance, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Getting ready for the day
- Name one person we can call on the day
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
