Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

A few lights around the van look great.
Should I sort the food myself?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is normally the easier option.

The process
On the day, we position the van, set up the hatch and get the fryers up to temperature. Then everything is fried to order, so we time it to your schedule. In Beltring, a June party has light until about 9:15pm, while a late-September one is dark by about 7:00pm. Plan lights for the drive and the queue if you are eating late.
- 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.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
How to prepare
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Plan where the queue will stand
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
