How the day works
Nothing is cooked before it’s needed. Fish is battered and fried when people come up to the hatch, which is why it tastes like it does at the seaside. Autumn and winter parties in Newfound get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so a lit spot for the van helps.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- A picture of the parking spot helps us check the van will fit.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Last portion served, we tidy up and head off.
How to prepare
- Get permission for the van from the venue
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
