The menu, dish by dish
Gravy
A pot of gravy turns chips into comfort food.
Haddock and chips
Haddock has loyal fans: a firmer flake and a sweeter taste. Ask us about offering haddock alongside or instead of cod.
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, 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 solves that by cooking on site.
For planners, venues and organisers

Questions from Boyatt Wood
Can the van park in Lakeside Country Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, generally the council. Ask them first.
What about events near the coast?
Yes. The cooking is inside the van, so wind doesn’t affect it, but the queue will want shelter.
Do you do residents’ portions?
Tell us what you need and we’ll plan portion sizes with your team.
What areas do you cover?
We cover London and the South East, including Hampshire. See all areas.
Do you have allergen information?
Let us know about allergies in advance, and we will tell you what’s in each item.
Can you park at the home?
Your manager can choose the spot.
Can you go on a lawn or field?
It depends on the ground. Let us know what the ground is like, and we’ll advise.
Do you bring everything you need?
Everything is cooked in the van. Let us know what’s available at the site and we’ll confirm what we need.
