Step by step
The first sign we’ve arrived is generally the smell, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it’s a steady flow to the hatch. At a December wedding in Ascott-under-Wychwood, it’s dark by about 3:55pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting, while a June wedding has light until about 9:30pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Preparing for the day
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain
