With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Let us know about coeliac disease
- Send round an allergy question
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
- Make sure the van and queue are well lit
For a work party, food early in the evening usually works best.
A charity collection for a local food bank is a nice touch.

Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain does not stop us. Guests will appreciate cover near the hatch.

Which areas do you serve?

Is there a non-fish option?
There is: sausage and chips or pie and chips. Give us a rough idea of numbers.
