Diets, allergies and planning
With a little notice, diets are easier to plan for. Our advice:
- Include staff and visitors in your numbers
- Keep the van clear of emergency access
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- Organise staff to carry food in
Residents in their rooms get food on a covered tray right away.
A seaside theme with bunting adds to the fun.
Should I sort the food myself?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Think about numbers, timing and how hot you want the food. We’re happy to send a quote so you can compare.
You could do a chip-shop run for everyone yourself, but it rarely works for a crowd. Long waits and a drive home mean food arrives lukewarm and soggy. With a van, it’s fried on the spot.
What comes out of the fryer
Mushy peas
Mushy peas are a must for plenty of fish and chip fans.
Cod and chips
For many people, cod and chips is the definitive version. Cooked fresh at the hatch, it’s hot, crisp and generous.
- Fried fresh to order in the van at your event
- Cod, haddock and chips, sausages and pies
- The van comes to you: homes, venues, workplaces and fields
- Served at the time you choose, from the hatch
