DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
What the van needs
A good parking spot makes the whole thing easier. We look for:
- Away from bedroom windows

- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Plan IDDSI-level meals with your own team
Room service goes up covered and hot.
Inviting families makes it even more special.
The process
Here’s how the day usually runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch when you’re ready to eat. In summer, Denham has daylight until about 9:25pm, which makes garden visits easy. In winter, dark by about 3:55pm, a lunchtime visit is better.
- Send us your date, numbers and address.
- We check access for the van and quote.
- We arrive in good time to set up.
- Fish goes into the batter and straight into the fryer, to order.
- We serve hot from the hatch and pack up when we’re done.
Preparing for the day
- Let us know who to talk to on the day
- Confirm the van is allowed on site
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
