Takeaway run or book a van?
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van solves that by cooking on site.
Step by step
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we’re there in good time before you want to eat. For a late-May party in Halfway Street, sunset is around 8:45pm; at midsummer it is about 9:15pm. If the party runs past dark, the queue and the path to the van need light.
- We start with a few details about your party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
