The process
Setting up takes a little while, because the oil has to come up to temperature, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. Autumn and winter parties in Mount Pleasant get dark early: about 7:00pm in late September and 3:50pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.

- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- Timings and the van’s spot are agreed in advance.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.

- Clear the route for the van
