How the day works
The van turns up at the agreed time, pulls onto the spot you’ve chosen. Once the oil is hot, the first portions go out right on schedule. At a December wedding in East Hanney, it is dark by about 4:00pm, so the route from the reception to the van needs lighting.
- Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
- Show us where the van would go, and we’ll confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- 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.
