How it works
On the day, we park up on the agreed spot, set up and heat the fryers. Once we’re hot, we cook to order, so we time it to your schedule. For a summer wedding in Church End, the sun sets at about 9:25pm in late June and about 7:10pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. For autumn and winter weddings, when it is dark by about 4:00pm in December, plan lighting by the van.
- We start with your date, venue, numbers and running order.
- You get a check on the date and venue, and a quote.
- Timings are agreed with you and the venue coordinator.
- On the day we set up in good time and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up quietly once everyone has eaten.
Before we arrive
- Share the timings for the day
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Make sure the van can get in
