Can’t we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is normally simpler.
Some hosts try a takeaway order. The problem is timing: big orders take a long time, and the food is cooling while it travels. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
Planners, venues and businesses
If your event is in a public place, such as a park or a street, check what permission you need first. Ask the council or landowner early.
If you run the same event each year, tell us your dates early, so we can plan ahead.

No, we come to small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and the ground.

Yes, it’s a lovely chance for families to visit.

The van comes fully equipped to cook. You just need a suitable spot and permission.
Where do you take the van?

What about residents who don’t eat fish?
Yes: sausages and pies, with chips. Tell us roughly how many to expect.
What happens if it rains?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. It’s worth planning some cover for the queue.

- Fit the visit around routines
- Plan how food reaches residents indoors
- Tell us about residents’ needs in writing
- Count families who are joining in
