Can you cater for allergies?

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where should the van go?
On a level spot in the car park or drive, clear of emergency access.
What can residents choose from?
Chip-shop favourites: cod or haddock and chips, sausages and pies, plus mushy peas, curry sauce and gravy. See the menu.
Can you serve children?
Yes. Children generally love sausage and chips. Tell us how many are coming.
