Planning an event in Gosford?
Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
DIY food keeps costs down, but the host spends the event serving. Booking the van means hot food and no stress.

Sausage and chips
For anyone who does not fancy fish, there is sausage and chips, and children love it.
Gravy
Chips and gravy is a favourite in the north and the Midlands, and it goes perfectly with a pie.
Looking after everyone
Good planning keeps every guest safe and happy. Here’s how:
- Tell facilities or the venue about the van
- Ask about your date in the autumn, or earlier
- Plan lighting near the hatch
- Think about a gazebo or covered doorway
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Fairy lights around the van make it part of the decorations.

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day normally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the fryers heat up, and food goes out hot when you’re ready to eat. Sunset in Gosford in late December is 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.
- Send us your December date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the spot for the van and send a quote.
- We plan a lit, sheltered spot for the van and queue.
- On the day we set up and fry fresh at the agreed time.
- We pack up when service ends and leave the pitch tidy.
How to prepare
- Let us know the serving time
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
- Check the venue or landowner is happy for the van to park
