"Help Tristan and Jacob bring back the Atlantic Fryer!!
"Absolutely devastating news for Tristan this morning to find the van had completely gone up in flames, not only that, but his entire unit went with it.
"Absolutely nothing is salvageable, the unit itself is a write off, all of his cooking and prep equipment, fridges, freezers, fresh stock (even his wellies!) has completely gone.
"There have no doubt been countless times that Tristan has saved us all from cooking by providing his amazing take out (not to mention the witty banter which comes free of charge!).
"Come in guys, lets show him the appreciation we all have for him and get the fryer back up and running!!"
