The process
We get there well before service, set up and bring the oil up to temperature. Your guests can wander over to the hatch as soon as we open. For a summer wedding in Wierton, the sun sets at about 9:15pm in late June and about 7:00pm in late September, so evening food at about 8:30pm is in daylight in high summer. Later in the year, plan lighting: in December it’s dark by about 3:50pm.
- 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
- Clear the route for the van
- Send us final numbers and any allergies in good time
- Give us a contact for the day
