Planning for dietary needs

Most events have a few guests with dietary needs. To plan for them:

Plan lighting near the hatch
Collect allergies in advance
Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
Agree the spot with the venue

Park the van close to the door, so nobody is out in the cold for long.

Some teams collect for a local charity on the day.

Planning the van’s spot

The van has to be able to get in and park safely, and a little planning goes a long way. These are the things we check:

Somewhere close to where people will eat
Confirmation that the van can park there
A route in without tight gates or low branches

As a London location, Hornchurch is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and parking takes planning: let us know about off-street space or permits.

If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

About the food

Gravy

Gravy brings a bit of warmth to the meal.

Haddock and chips

Some people swear by haddock: sweeter and a touch firmer than cod. Tell us if you’d like to offer it.

The process

Here’s how the day generally runs: the van arrives and we set up, the oil comes up to temperature, and we serve hot from the hatch at the agreed time. It gets dark in Hornchurch by about 3:50pm at Christmas; park the van where there is good light.

Contact us with the basics: when, where and roughly how many.
Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
Closer to the day, we confirm the arrival time and serving time.
We park, open the hatch and start frying for your guests.

Should I sort the food myself?

Doing the food yourself saves money, but the host ends up running around. With a fish and chip van, you get hot food without the work.

If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For anything more than a handful of people, a van is usually the easier option.
