Planning for dietary needs
A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:
- Confirm allergies by email

- Ensure the van and queue are well lit
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
When service is finished, we pack up and leave you to the party.
A hot drinks station run by your team pairs well with the van.
How it works
We need time before service to bring the fryers up to heat, so we always arrive well ahead of your serving time. In December, it’s dark in Enslow by about 3:55pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. A lunchtime party is the only one served in good daylight.
- We start with a few details about your Christmas party.
- We check the date and where the van will park, then send a quote.
- We agree timings, access and the parking spot.
- We cook to order on the day for your guests.
- Everything goes out hot from the hatch, and we pack up afterwards.

Takeaway run or book a van?

DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.
