Cannot we just order from the chip shop?
Ordering from a local shop? Call ahead and collect at the last minute. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
Organising for someone else?
Planners and coordinators can contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
For big groups, the service window matters, so we can plan service to match. Sending people up in groups helps.

Space, access and the venue
We’ll be honest if a spot will not work, and suggest an alternative. What matters most:
- Somewhere close to where people will eat
- A clear way in, with no low branches, cables or narrow gates
- Room in front of the hatch for a queue
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.
