Planning for dietary needs
Nearly every event has some special diets. To look after them:
- Tell us about coeliac guests specifically
- Keep the queue dry
- Plan an alternative for anyone we cannot cater for
- Check the van can park on site
Serving early, before the drinks flow, is often wise.
Crackers on the tables finish it off.
DIY versus a fish and chip van
If you do order from a chip shop, ring well ahead and collect as close to eating time as you can. For a crowd, a van is generally simpler.
Deep-frying for lots of people at home is risky: hot oil and a busy party are a bad combination. Leave the frying to a van built for it.
How it works
Changes on the day are fine: we can start a little later or slow the pace to suit your Christmas party. In December, it is dark in Queen's Bower by about 4:00pm, so even a late-afternoon Christmas party needs lighting by the van and the queue. Lunchtime is the brightest slot in December.
- Tell us what you’re planning and when you’d like to eat.
- We come back with availability and a clear price.
- We agree exactly where the van parks, and how it gets in.
- On the day, everything is cooked to order, so nothing sits in a hot cabinet.
- We leave the spot as we found it.
Before we arrive
- Plan a bit of cover near the hatch if rain is likely
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Pick a flat, firm place for the van to park
