The process
Rain doesn’t stop the fryers, because the cooking happens inside the van. It is worth thinking about cover for the queue, though. A wake in Segensworth in late autumn or winter may run into the dark, with sunset about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit path to the van is a kindness to older guests.
- First, tell us about your wake.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for family and friends.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
Getting ready for the day
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us a contact for the day
- Tell us when you want to eat
