Takeaway run or book a van?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: big pans of hot oil, children and garden parties don’t mix. A van is designed for exactly this.
How the day works
A typical booking goes like this: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. Autumn and winter parties in Cripp's Corner get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:55pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- 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.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
Getting ready for the day
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Ensure the van can get in
- Have a level parking spot ready
