Looking after everyone
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:

We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.

Before you choose a spot

- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- Firm, level ground close to the home
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we’ll advise before booking.

Planning help
Takeaway run or book a van?
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. Ask us for a quote and compare.
