Takeaway run or book a van?
Weighing up a takeaway order against booking a van? Consider your numbers and how fresh you want it. Ask us for a quote and compare.
Frying for a crowd at home isn’t a good idea: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
Diets, allergies and planning
We need to know about dietary needs and allergies in advance, and we’ll be straight with you about what’s possible. To get it right:
- Send allergies to us in writing
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about allergies on the party invitation
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
A gazebo or covered doorway near the hatch helps on a wet night.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.
