Allergies and dietary needs
Most events have a few residents with dietary needs. To plan for them:
- Organise staff to carry food in
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
- Let us know if smaller portions suit
- Choose a spot away from ambulance routes
Families can join in, with numbers agreed in advance.
Bunting, deckchairs and a seaside theme make it an occasion.
Working with your venue
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you’re booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll talk you through the process. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Questions from Baulking
Is Baulking close to London?
About 63 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Do you come to venues in the North Wessex Downs National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We’ll follow the site rules.
Who clears up?
We take the van and everything with it, and leave the spot tidy. It helps to have bins near the hatch.
Is there a non-fish option?
We serve sausages and pies as well as fish. Let us know about any other dietary needs and we’ll tell you what we can offer.
What areas do you cover?
We take the van across London and the South East, including Oxfordshire. See all areas.
Can staff have lunch from the van?
Of course. Add them to your numbers.
Do you have a kids’ option?
Yes. Sausage and chips is a favourite with children. Tell us how many are coming.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we will explain the options.
Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
