How the day works
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Guests will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. By about 3:55pm in late December, it’s dark in Combe; park the van where there’s good light, and keep the walk short.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- You get an availability check and a clear quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- On the day, we park up and fry fresh for your guests.
- We serve from the hatch, then leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Keep space clear for guests at the hatch
- Arrange somewhere dry for the queue
- Confirm numbers and dietary needs before the day

Takeaway run or book a van?
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. A van fries it right there, so it’s crisp.
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 guests instead.
Working with your venue
Many venues set rules for catering vans: where a van can park, access times and the paperwork they want. Send us your venue’s requirements and we will confirm what we can provide.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan how to keep the queue short. Sending people up in groups helps.
Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we can’t meet
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Send allergies to us in writing
For a work party, food early in the evening normally works best.
Christmas music near the van sets the mood.
