How the day works
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 Westcot get dark early: about 7:10pm in late September and 4:00pm in December, so think about lighting by the van.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- The van rolls up, the hatch opens and the fryers get going for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Before we arrive
- Tell us when you want to eat
- Clear the route for the van
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

What the van needs
We will agree the van’s spot with you before the day. It needs to tick a few simple boxes:
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- A short walk from the party
- Light near the van and the queue for evening service
If you’re unsure, send a photo of the space and the way in, and we will say what we think before booking.
