- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation

Park the van close to the door.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Not sure whether to order in or book a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
