The process
You will know we are ready when the smell of frying drifts over, about the time the first guests wander across. After that, it is a steady flow to the hatch. December in Guildford means early darkness: the light goes at about 3:55pm, so choose a lit spot near the door for the van.
- First, tell us about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.
How to prepare
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day
