Should I sort the food myself?
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.
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
For repeat bookings, such as regular staff lunches or annual fairs, let us know your dates early, so we can plan ahead.
If you are booking for a business, tell us how you’d like to handle the booking and payment, and we’ll explain how it works. We can work with your facilities team on access and timings.
Allergies and dietary needs
We take allergies seriously. Here’s how you can help:
- Count families who are joining in
- Check the spot with your manager
- Residents on soft diets should have meals from your kitchen
- List residents’ diets, allergies and portion needs
We arrive in good time to park and heat the fryers.
