Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We are happy to send a quote so you can compare.
Collecting fish and chips for a crowd yourself is possible, but it’s hard work. By the time you’ve queued, paid and driven back, the batter has gone soft. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
Allergies and dietary needs
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Try these:
- Plan it with your catering manager
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Count families who are joining in
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers, quietly.
