Step by step
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. A summer party in Little London stays light until about 9:20pm at midsummer, which gives a garden party a long evening. In late September it’s dark by about 7:05pm; add lights for the evening.

- We check where the van can park and send a price.
- On the day we arrive, park up and heat the fryers.
- We serve hot from the hatch while the party carries on.
