Food your guests will love
Gravy
Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal, especially in winter.
Mushy peas
No fish and chips is complete without mushy peas for many people.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is generally the easier option.

Most drives, car parks, yards and firm lawns can take the van, but a few things matter:
- Clear of ambulance access and emergency routes
- A level, firm spot such as the car park or drive
- Lighting for later visits
Not sure about the spot? Send us a picture and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
