How the day works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we are there in good time before you want to eat. At midsummer, it is light in Hurstbourne Tarrant until about 9:25pm, which gives a garden party a long evening. By late September sunset is around 7:10pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- It starts with your date, address and numbers.
- You get an access check and a clear price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We fry fresh and serve from the hatch as your guests come up.
- Afterwards, we clear up and leave you to it.
How to prepare
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Share the timings for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready

Planners, venues and businesses
If you’re organising for someone else, whether you’re a planner, a facilities manager or an organiser, we’ll work directly with you and the venue. It keeps things simple.
For larger numbers, tell us how long you have for food, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Staggering groups helps a lot.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Help us by following these steps:
- Confirm allergies by email
- Arrange an alternative if needed
- Count children separately
- Check the street’s parking rules
For a children’s party, serve food about an hour in, before the cake.
Somewhere to sit makes eating easier.
Should I sort the food myself?
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. A van is designed for exactly this.
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
