Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes, always. We fry to order in the van at your venue, and serve straight from the hatch.
Does the batter contain gluten?
Not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Let us know and we’ll tell you what we can do before you book.
Can the van park on grass?
Frequently, if the ground is firm and dry. After heavy rain, soft grass can be a problem for any vehicle, so have a hard-surface back-up.

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. A few tips:
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
- Arrange plates and trays for residents inside
- Check the spot with your manager
- Pick a time that suits the home’s day

Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering in from a local chip shop is an option. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
