- The number of meals

How it works
Your timings come first. If things run late, we simply start frying a little later, so nothing is cooked before it is needed. At midsummer, it is light in Kemptown until about 9:15pm, so a garden party can run well into the evening. By late September sunset is around 7:05pm, so plan festoon lights for later parties.
- Get in touch with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll 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.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
