Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Choose a lit spot for the van
- Agree the spot with the venue
- Plan cover for the queue
- Arrange something for anyone with needs we cannot meet
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is frequently wise.
Hot drinks alongside make it even better.

Should I sort the food myself?
A DIY buffet works for small groups. For bigger numbers, a van makes life easier, and you get to enjoy the day.
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 typically the easier option.
